HOW TO : articulated joints with timber

All of the joints share a similar construction pricipal. To maintain an overall aesthetic which mirrored the timber frame of a house the timber used was the same width. Variations in length and combinations of the lengths determined range of motion




ABOVE : this is the general design pricipal for the joints . Two smaller pieces of timber clamping two larger pieces of timber





ABOVE: shoulder and hip joints. These have two points of articulation allowing 180' and 360' of motion


BELOW: Knee and elbow joints
These allow limited range of motion. The small piece of timber running horizontally prevent the range of motion going beyond 90'
