Array Fencing Dummy! Ok, I've built a fencing dummy. YAY!
shoulder and elbow move vertical, as well as the thigh piece. Its portable, and dissasembles in 5 minutes. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben -

Array could you show us the arm/hand mechanism? seems like this is the hardest and most impt part...the body and rest seem to be rather easy to construct....but getting the hand to spring back at the right time and energy is difficult... ====)--------------------------------------------------------------------

The spring mechanism is not something I wish to disclose, as it took me quite a while to figure out, and if I want to market this item, I'd like for it to be unique. Also, I used some springs I found around the house from some various things, and they are very stiff. If I was to make more dummy's, I wouldnt be using the springs. They are very high maintanence and prone to finicky things.
Some people have inquired about the price of the item, so here you go.
For the arm- $30 plus S&H.
For the leg -$30 plus S&H.
The befits of the dummy are that you can attach it to almost anything with a simple lag bolt. I've attached the arm to walls, deck posts, dummy posts, and lots of other stuff. The same thing goes with the leg.
I used some sort of batting to pad the wood, but next time I'm using carpet. Its wrapped in 3 layers of duct tape to keep the stuff on, and to make it look better. I'm experimenting with ways to attach the weapon, currently, its just a hole in the wood, I rammed the tang down into it, and then filled it with epoxy.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in purchasing, just PM me.

Array I built one like that years ago, covered with pieces of an old neoprene wetsuit. The only adjustable part was the elbow, which had a bolt, washer and wingnut arrangement. I wish there had been a spring in the elbow or wrist, but I was lazy. On the other hand, my shop was tidy. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

Array Nice. Very dark, assasinesque.
I assume the part on the bottom sticking out is a leg target for epeeists?

In any case, I think that's their patio.
You know, the more you throw in words like "kinky" the more I think that "epee target" is a giant black phallus.
What? We can't help what the mind sees.
