Jerry McGee is home were he belongs

When I returned Jerry to Bill Fetzer and his wife they had nothing but nice things to say about my work and how Jerry worked and looked. Bill had sent his brother this blog to view Jerry and this was his response.

Dick Fetzer to his brother Bill Fetzer (Jerry’s partner):

“Wow! This guy is good! It is amazing what the years did to Jerry. (We’re not going to mention his friend Bill) You have sure given Jerry a new lease on life! I could tell from the commentary that this guy is a great restorer. You found the right person for the transformation. It is almost like welcoming a new child--congratulations! Have you let him make his debut yet? I wonder what your friends at the Aquarium will think?

Vent Figure PVC Control Stick with Brass Control Rods

My friend Al Stevens is well known for his Fred Project WebPages. http://www.alstevens.com/ventriloquism/fred.html

Since those were published Al has changed the way he makes a control stick and graciously taught me how it is done. With Al's permission given, I am passing the information on to all of you. For those of you who don't use PVC to make your control stick, which allows you to easily use all brass control rods to operate your figure, here are scale illustrations of the hardware and one of how it is assembled to help you should you decide to give this style a go.
