Some of what I'm hoping to share via this blog are all the incredible, accessible, FREE! websites and tutorials available on the web to the curious and research-willing bearmaker.
This particular tutorial happens to have been written by my friend, bear artist and show promoter Daphne Blau of New Hampshire, d.b.a. Back Road Bears. Both materials & method for joint creation are covered here.
As a side note: If you'd like, you can substitute hex-headed bolts for the headless "set screws" Daphne uses in her tutorial. In that case, you only need one (lock)nut per joint, instead of two ... and you'll need two nut drivers, or two pliars, or a combination of those, to hold/screw tight the hardware. Check it out!
