Installing rod arm

Hello, Clinton. Do you have any advice on how to make a rod arm for a vent doll?

Answer: I just use an ordinary wooden dowel rod (round, or square with corner edges sanded). The trick is mounting it to the arm/hand. Every hand is different. I like to mount it on the pinkie side of the wrist, gluing the rod to the inside of the wrist (if hollow). If the hand is solid, then I drill a hole in the wrist so the rod can be inserted and glued in place. Clinton
