Hi Manal, I have not seen a post from you before; It’s very nice to meet you; are you a Ventriloquist?

At the age of 9 or so I received a Charlie McCarthy figure for Christmas which came with an instructional record by the fellow that had the Farfel dog . I used to see Dany ODay and Farfel on TV as well as Paul Winchell and his crew.I loved watching WC Fields movies especialy the one with Edgar Bergin. My dad had the old radio shows on cassette tape and I listened to them alot. I am 50 now but used to see vents on TV all the time growing up. Nice dummy ( or is the proper term figure?)by the way. |

Forgot to mention I am a wood carver and would like someday to attempt carving a figure.
Anyone know of a written source or tutorial for wooden figures. I have seen the online directions for the other non wood type. |

Manal,
Go to http://www.ventriloquistcentral.com and look around there. Or go directly to webmaster@ventriloquistcentral.com and talk to Steve Hurst about that question. He has written a very comprehensive book/DVD on that very topic. Don't remember the price off the top of my head, but it seems that it was very reasonable. Plus he will work with you (live) if you hit any snags in the process. disclaimer: Steve Hurst is also our webmaster Steve http://www.thedummyshoppe.com |

For carved figures, the very best I ever saw was nothing more than a small, I think 12 pages, little "booklet" or pamphlet by someone who is well known for carving very nice figures. Now the devil of this is, I can get the name to come to me. I went and looked at my copy of the pamphlet, and he doesn't have his name on there. I will work on it and try to come up with the name, maybe if Matt-24 pops in, he can help, I think he either did, or was going to order a figure from this maker before.

Dave are you talking about Brandt Gilmer? His pamphlet was rather small about carving figures.

I think jogging my mind is the problem - it's gone off jogging and left me sitting here all alone.....
