I love your work… As always! Your work and attention to detail are always fun to watch….solo I’m sure you have the process figured out. But if ever you get in a difficult or confusing situation… There are always folks like myself (process engineer) who would happily make small suggestions I specialize in small scale but complex manufacturing and machining. Before process engineer, I started right after high school as a watchmakers apprentice for two years. Then realized I was more interested in machinists work. So I had several Jobs and then my own business doing machining and fabrication work. Both with manual and CNC. Then started a business doing component level circuit board repair for industrial and manufacturing equipment. Specializing in test equipment calibration/metrology. It’s what I still do to this day, with my own lab… If I’m not doing the engineering gig. Somewhere in the middle of all of that… I accidentally started a jewelry wholesale business with a family member. Lost wax casting, faceting, engraving…..And all that comes along with that. Designes are sold by the thousands or tens of thousands. All crafted by hand locally, with designs constantly changing. I learned to design the process efficiently. So that normally time-consuming and complex tasks would be efficient…. and most importantly… CONSISTENT. That’s how I fell in love with the art of process design & engineering. Went back to school, apparently they let you do that even if you’re old. 🤷‍♂️ It’s a lot of fun. it’s always great helping manufacturers solve problems. I feel like a big kid rearranging Lego blocks until I figure out what works best for A particular situation. It’s a constantly changing minefield of complex problems. It’s a lot of fun! So if you ever run into a tight spot… Find a local or online friend who is a process engineer and let them look over everything. A few small adjustments here and there… Can make a shop and manufacturing process 10 times more efficient and consistent. And consistency equals financial savings EVERY TIME! I live by the rule… Chaos is expensive.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hi Hull, thanks for your explanation. I agree chaos is expensive. I studied product design and after that stopmotion. In both the project is crucial to make it happen. I do have little chaos in the workshop but it is not because of non planing it, it is more because we try to help people all the time instead of following what would make more sense and be more eficient. We are not here to make money, my goal is to make products or tools that helps others making their Dreams. So most time all we do is custom work, non repeatable, would love to have stations for every job... But. We do our best... Hope it gives you an over view, and thanks for giving us that point of view.

I love making stop motion..

[@anipaper9837]

Un armature de 10cm es una locura, yo trabajo con puppets de 11 que no hay tanta diferencia pero de ese tamaño con ball and socket para mi era inimaginable Enhorabuena Edu!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Gracias!!!

It's so small and intricate and super super cool! I'm just starting to learn stop motion and your channel and insight has been extremely valuable and helpful : )

Awesome! Thank you!

Tiny stainless steel joints??

[@lasarith2]

@@edupuertasfruns no a large batch of parts at different sizes.

[@paamboli4616]

Muy bueno, como siempre. 😀 Es increíble ver todo el trabajo que hay detrás. Respecto a los tornillos, quizás puedas encontrarlos más pequeños en el sector electrónico o de relojería ¿🙄? La pierna en la zona de la rodilla sólo se mueve adelante y atrás. Si la mueves a los lados, verás que el movimiento parte de la cadera. Creo que dijiste en el directo que editáis con Adobe Premiere. ¿Nunca usáis Final Cut? El nuevo Premiere es un rollo de subscripción de pago periódico. Antes lo comprabas y ya está.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Gracias!!! Estoy de acuerdo con lo del Premiere, lo usamos porque tenemos todo el paquete de adobe en el estudio y así esta todo cubierto. Antes editaba con final cut así que en realidad no me importa mucho el software sino lo que puedas hacer con el y ambos sirven perfecto para el tipo de ediciones que hacemos.

[@thefightingpitsoftx]

What type of solder did you use? Is the metal you’re using for the manikin stainless steel? Thanks! P.S. that’s an awesome customization job!

[@edupuertasfruns]

I used silver solder, and the metal is stainless steel

[@MauzyrockRC]

Are the hinge joints a newer addition? Or only for some sizes? ( Also-Your music choices are top notch as usual!)

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks!!! I spend a lot of time chosing musics that match with the content, not always I do like them, but try to. About the hinges... they are replacements from glasses that I use when it is needed on a custom puppet armature.

[@scottgamble7767]

@@edupuertasfruns : Would you tell us where you get this particular hinge? How many others did you test out before you decided this one was best, or do you find that it matters?

[@scottgamble7767]

@Mauzyrock RC : Edu introduced these joints in one of his past videos for use on another puppet that required slim joints. Have a look at his past video postings and you should find it.

[@edupuertasfruns]

I did buy them on ebay or aliexpress, I did try many, and don't even remember where to find it again as those sellers are never permanent.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Yes it was a video called How to make stop motion hinge elbows

Cool to sharing! It's always a pleasure to see you working! :) Please, can you tell me where I can find elbows and knees joints like here: 3:55 ?

What material are you using? Stainless steel? And what rod material you use for welding? Thank you very much

[@edupuertasfruns]

Yes, stainless steel 303 and silver solder to join it.
