so basically, i'm just gluing the bearing to the barrel, then putting some globs of glue on the bottom the servo head, and just dropping the head and pvc tube...
I wouldn't recommend gluing the head to the bearing (you might need to service it later). I wouldn't recommend having the body of the puppet hang from the...
... Glue is generally a bad idea. Some sort of secure metal fastener is always the way to go. It lasts practically forever, where adhesives do not. Plus Neal...
ok,now I'M starting to get confused! are you saying to screw/bolt the bearing to the barrel and sit the head,T and 16 inches of 1/2 inch PVC into the 1 inch...
In essence yes. Although I wouldn't screw the bearing to the barrel. I would just glue it since the head is just resting on it. I would cut the four corners...
My take on it is that the puppet rod has to be locked into the body. You should be able to hold Servo by the rod and spin the body around it (as Kevin did...
... That's where a small fine threaded bolt through your 1/2 head rod would come in handy... It would let the 1" spin around nicely while the 1/2" head rod...
Right, When you put the 1/2 inch coupler (or slip joint) on the bottom of the control rod it "locks" everything together, the bottom of the 1 inch pipe rests...
Hey Ron, Good you're confused, my work is complete. You see Neal secretly hired me to mess you with. J/K Anyway sorry, guess my directions weren't very good. I...
Couple of options: 1. Don't take it out, paint the beak in-place instead (I believe Dave does this). 2. Take it out by destroying the head, but only very small...
Right, I usually don't remove the beak, but I do see at least one advantage to doing so. Drilling a hole into the lower jaw to attach the string. I use a...
Good point Neal, I had forgotten about the heated nail trick. captainchess <neal@...> wrote: A heated nail would still do the trick -- though I prefer...
okay, im just a little confused. if i glue the bearing to the barrel, but not the head, that means tom's head/pvc rod unit can just freely come out??? does...
hey all, who offers the cheapest barrel and cheapest engine block? i have to keep my servo project on a budget since a few of my guitars need some repairs for...

The cheapest barrel and engine block is offered by Joe Crow. He makes a very good quality barrel and engine block combo for I believe $85.00. Neal Bridges...
Unless you're holding Servo upside down you don't have to worry about his head. His head turns smoothly because it is resting on the lazy susan. If you're...
Joe Crow has some really good pics and instructions for building the bots. Go to JoeCrow.com click on whichever bot you want to check out and click on building...
hey, i went on joe crow's site, and what i dont understand is, if you glue the pvc pipe into place at the top of the barrel, how can you move servo's head from...
The 1" pipe is the main stabilizer pipe for the body... A 1/2" pipe is placed inside.. That's what the head attaches to via a 1/2" "T" stuck into the head. Ron...
I talked to Joe 2 or 3 times in the last 2 days. He sent me a bunch of stuff last week. I don't know why he hasn't responded to you. Maybe his spamblocker...
