We actually ended up going with a very similar pattern using PVC pipe. The biggest difference was to explicitly make the bending part specifically a latch, but to keep the shoulder socket universal. That way I can _twist_ the oar to raise the arm, this has proved to be much better in terms of...
So it's a frame backpack, minus the backpack. Padded straps across my waist and shoulders, connected up to an aluminum frame in the back. The frame is zip tied to a PVC pipe extension frame to get the laundry basket up where it needs to be. The PVC pipes are basically a pair of connected...
Yeah, I've thought about this. I fully trust that the weight of anything attached to the arms will do bad things to the body. It's just a hoop skirt, it's not meant to support weight. However, I do have a backpack and a skull that can support a decent amount of weight (as much as I'm willing...
I don't think that's at all off-topic. Any build I do for the arms has to be supported by the body. In the build diary above, the first picture gives a pretty good picture of the internal structure. There's a laundry basket above my head. It's carried by a backpack frame I'm wearing...
Yeah, that's my personal video, so not exactly as well publicized as some of them out there.
In terms of hugging people, very few people came at me from the front. Most* wanted side-hugs and/or pictures with Totoro's arm over their shoulder. Thankfully I have a very attentive group of...
I believe I remember you as well, I caught some video:
at 48 seconds and at 2 minutes and 28 seconds
Your fraggle was awesome!
. . . and you're right, I cannot see my arms, and don't see a way where I'd be able to. The main thing I was hoping to do was to be able to wave and I think I could...
At the least I could take it apart and see how it works. It'd be awesome if I could do something with the claws on the hand. Here's a decent picture with the hand in it:

Yeah, I ran across a thread here that talked a little about that. Build a basic curved arm structure, then see-saw the arms back and forth. It's certainly be light!
I have a TON of room in the body. The body is basically a giant hoop skirt, so it's pretty much entirely hollow.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to wave. But that involves a working elbow and possibly the ability to rotate a wrist. So I was pondering some sort of a two-part 'skeleton' with a...
Right now neither arm does a darn thing. Currently they're just basically pillowcases sewn to the outside body, there isn't even a pass-through. When we were doing the initial build, we toyed with putting a stick in each arm that I could manipulate from the inside, but it looked pretty awful...
I've built a pretty good body for a puppet, but am having trouble getting the arms to work (and not look terrible). I was wondering if you could point me at some resources for arms that can move. At a minimum I'd like to be able to wave. Important to note, the 'puppet' I'm talking about here...
