I'm getting a lot of hits to my website from people who do searches on Google for 'slide jaw puppet'... Just wondering what the heck it is....

I tried doing a search.................... since I have never heard the term. I did get a lot of results that did lead me back to your website where you mentioned building a mouth plate. I think a robot just picked up on the word slide somewhere in your description of the building process. I could be wrong though. Let us know if there is such a thing. I did notice that with all the information you now have available people are linking to your website in there blogs and such.

The closest I could find was this page on Puppetry of America's website: http://www.puppeteers.org/duke.html

That made me think of jays puppet.  The one he showed in his tutorial .  I wish he would put the pattern up on how he makes the jaw like he does.

Thanks for the help! Yes, google's just picking up on some key words in one of my posts. I think all the hits are coming from Trinidad, so maybe it's a culture-specific thing.

Which puppet are you talking about? The Doctor puppet mouth?

Yeah .. I thought I remembered it having a slide like feel to the jaw.

well it can rock its jaw sise to side cause the way the mouth is designed. I am considering putting the patterns up and selling them for the video series would anyone be interested in that?

I would

Me too
