How Do You Craft A Homemade Wooden Ventriloquist Dummy?

Making ventriloquist dummies is a complex art, requiring a good deal of skill. The internal structure of the dummy's head is made up of a network of wires and pulleys. These are manipulated by the ventriloquist to bring the dummy to life, moving his eyes, eyebrows, jaw, and sometimes even ears or tongue.

If you already are familiar with the construction of plastic, resin, or papier-mâché dummies, however, making a wooden dummy isn't all that difficult. Draw patterns for the dummy's head. You will need both profile and full-face patterns for best results.

Draw large rectangles over the profile pattern to determine the size and position of the wood blocks from which you'll carve the head. The head will need to be made of four main blocks---the face, the forward-middle head, the rear-middle head, and the back of the head---as well as a small block for the nose. Cut wood blocks to the sizes you have determined and glue them together in the positions marked on your pattern.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
