Final Armature

Head plate made of brass. Has holes marked on it ready to be drilled, will the head have a wire frame that can be threaded through these holes? marked using a compass and ruler.

Testing the elbow joint for friction making sure the screws are tight enough to hold everything together moves well!!

assembling the elbow joint with a screwdriver, tightening up the brass plates, aluminium rods on either side which act as the joints.

Assembling the aluminium legs and brass plates , then screwing together, this will create tension and hold the hips together, thus creating a moveable ball and socket joint!

Aluminium rod tightened in an elcrtic drill, then using a round file, creating a ball at the end of the rod which will then be a joint, elbow or wrist!

Small nuts and screws used on the Armatures ankle joints and knee joints to screw brass plates together!

Making my Ball and Socket Armature a few of the development photos .....

Brass Plates Cut to size and holes put in them readdy to put the screw through the middle of the plates this will then create tension when the rounded Aluminium rods are also slotted in on either side.






Some of the tools that were used to create my ball and Socket Armature; Set Square, Hacksaw Blade for marking the metal, Mole grips used, Compass used to mark out parallel lines and radiuses.
