Fencing Dummy

Trying to figure out a name for him.

Stands up by itself. The covering is made from two old welcome mats.

Articulated arm. Pretty stable, but had to compromise on the spring.

It's more symmetrical than it looks. If I were to do it again,
the shoulders would be smaller. There are two shoulders
so people can practice with the target as lefty or righty.

The arm bends from the shoulder and elbow. The spring
is small but it's the stiffest in Oxford. This dummy has a wicked
fast parry. The arm, believe it or not, is very stable. We'll see
how it holds up.

If you raise the arm and get the blade going up and down, it will flick to your shoulder. Practice defense against shoulder flicks.

The dummy salutes.
