Hello! I'm Harley, I actually was a member who didn't realize we made a website switch. I used to go by the name, "Illusionistpuppeteer" on the old forum. But, I'm going to build my first puppet, and I'm trying to use gofundme to get the parts funded. Considering I think it's a super important skill for puppeteers, I'd like to try my hand at it during the quarantine. I'm using a tutorial by Adam Kreutinger to build my first one, as he's pretty established and I trust his videos.
