Not Armatures - But THIS

As I may have mentioned in the past, my small metal working & machining set-up is in semi-storage in garage buried under piles of stuff. Not easily accessible and also, not having time! However, last year I had an idea brewing. I drew up a schematic of my own design ... a version of a 'stop motion winder rig'. It is not the usual 'geared tooth rack & circular gear pinion' winders that many stop motion enthusiasts LUST for 😛. What I came up with, is a Screw Driven X-Y Mover Puppet Support Rig. It would be fabricated, NOT using any precision machining metal techniques. You can literally get all the parts at a hardware store.  Click on image to open separately, then click image again to enlarge.

The primary tools I would use is,  a small Metal Cutting Band Saw and especially, the Drill Press. Again ... NOT using milling machine and no lathe turning operations. I will not be doing any intricate cutting & shaping of metal parts. Click on image to open separately, then click image again to enlarge.

Theoretically, design should work but we shall see. I will update later as to the status of this mini-project.
