I am going to be attaching some of the skulls to blucky bodies. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
There are as many ways to attach as there are buckys out there. 1st and maybe the easiest is using a coupler. You'll need to get one the sizes of the bucky rod, 5/16 and the size of your rod end. This looks look a long nut and you simply screw it onto both rod ends. You'll just have use lock tight to the bottom portion so it doesn't unscrew itself off. Or I found that by grinding down the threads on my rods to get a flat surface and attaching them with small hose clamps worked good too. But watch out if you do grind down the threads as there were sparks flying everywhere, yea I know I'm scary with power tools!

I believe she said Blucky but That is ok, I sell the couplers on my website Click on the blue flame skull on The main page to see all the things you will need to make the numbskulls* Thanks BB
I be takin' a block o' wood, shapin' it ta slip inta th' neck. Drill a 1/4" hole in th' center, slidin th' neck rod down init, 1/4" nut on each side ta lock the rod inta th' block, slidin' th' block inta th blucky's neck. Drive small deck screws inta th' wood, anchorin' it around th' neck 'round th' wood.

Oops!! I guess we're all guilty of that one at least once in our lives.
UPDATE ON INSTRUCTIONS: We found the problem and will have it fix Tuesday (hopefully). We did in fact have an IP conflict. My IT geek is going to obtain a static IP and do something - he said this will rid our system of all problems. I have no idea what he is talking about. Just in case it does not work, I plan to mail out the instructions.
DOH!!!! What a great idea dionicia!!! Let me do that now...
On another subject - I think we have a possessed 3-axis skull here at the shop! Last week twice and tonight, it started up by itself doing its own thing... the funny thing is - we moved it to another board and computer this evening, but yet, it still goes off by itself... freaky!!!
I hate to think what will happen when we attach it to is skeleton frame tomorrow and all the animatronic hardware that goes with it!!!!
