Final Details!
I took TDK apart into his 3 main sections to finish up assorted details:
All that's left now is the soundtrack!
| Seatbelt end with grommets (one screw already in place) The seatbelt is so TDK will stick with me while my hands are busy manipulating assorted appendages. I took a too-short military belt that had lost its buckle, cut it in two pieces, and put grommets into the ends so I could screw it onto the base plate for the saddle. |
 |
| Seatbelt other end, screwed in place The left end is shorter so that the buckle (a plastic latching buckle like for a backpack) will not be in my lap when fastened |
 |
| Buckle! |
 |
| Handle for inside of gun. That's a 1/8P lamp pipe union jammed into a piece of bamboo. It just screws onto the lamp pipe where it comes through the ball. |
 |
| Tiki Torch gun handle, assembled |
 |
| Bamboo handle for telescoping arm. The first handle worked so well, I scrounged around for more bamboo for the innner end of the telescoping arm assembly |
 |
| inside of the arm handle... you can see the brass lamp pipe union buried inside it. |
 |
| Arm handle screwed onto inner end of the lamp pipe. |
 |
| Coconuts netted together Not only does stringing them side to side keep them from flipping over, it controls the raffia skirt so the shells stay on top of the raffia |

All that's left now is the soundtrack!
