This video was so helpful. I'm writing a story about a traveling puppet theater and needed to know how to describe stringing a marionette.

Your advice has proven invaluable! Especially the knotch technique allowing for adjustment without losing stability!

I thoroughly enjoyed your video, watching you weave life into your marionette.

Your teaching style is spot on! I have thoroughly enjoyed every video you've made. I'm planning to make marionettes for my grandchildren for Christmas. They will love them! Thank you!

I'll be 50 in less than a month and I'm building my first marionette. Your videos have been a big help. I always do stuff my own way but your videos inspire me. I've always thought marionettes and puppets in general were magical and I've recently become interested in doing it myself. I hope you are still making videos and teaching the world your craft because I'm going to be visiting your channel a lot.

Very helpful, though I made my control bar out of popsicle sticks so I'm probably gonna have to redo this, but no problem with the tutorial.

Great informative video. Well done! 👍👍👍

I cut the strings to the marine hunt out of frustration from trying to detangle it. And I just have a simple cross for a holding device. But I don't know how to restrain it exactly and wondering if you have a video with a more simple approach. Thank you

What is the toggle for from the aeroplane control build video? Please and thank you ❤

I’m making my own Clay Puppet in Ceramics Class, I haven’t decided what I want it to look like yet.
The only thing I have to worried about is how would I make it move.
