  1. Very interesting...Will you use some kind of stand to prop it up?

  2. No, it will be supported by a bar that runs into the back. This is based on a "limberjack" style of toy and the bar in the back will be raised up and down with a cam turned by a crank. When adjusted properly, it makes the toy look like he is "clogging" or performing some type of Irish jig!
