    This is a not so elegant, cost effective way to add different poses to your creations. Each joint typically costs under a $1.50 and only takes a few minutes to make.
    I used a lot of these in the last statue I built.




    You will need:
    2 PVC straight pipe couplers
    2 Serrated flange nuts. One size
    larger (thread size) than the bolts you are using
    2 carriage bolts and wing nuts

    Hacksaw
    Drill
    Vise

    I made some drawings and instructions in this tutorial:

    I hope you find this information useful.

    Great idea...too bad I can't trust myself with a drill.
    The only downfall of Halloween is it only happens once a year.
