Mooks And Carport Kwoons

Our fellow Florida Dojo Rat Sean Ledig, AKA "Hand2Hand" from our comments section, has booted up his blog "Tales From The Carport Kwoon". Sean is a published writer and martial artist in the Chinese arts/FMA styles, and has a post up that got me thinking about Wing Chun Mooks (Dummies).
While browsing through the links in Sean's post I found the video above, a simple log transformed into a nice durable Mook. I especially like the laminated arms which would be unbreakable, but please notice the coil-spring platform that the Mook is bolted to. This is the same idea I have for the one I want to make, hopefully sometime this summer. I've got a couple of Cedar logs that came down in our woods, and I may use natural crooks of Alder or Maple for the arms and knee.
Sean had an article published in "Inside Kung Fu" with details of the Mook/Dummy that he built, and I think we'll be seeing more about that in the future.
So go on over to "Tales From The Carport Kwoon", and let's help Sean get his new Blog rolling!
