The Stands

For the bottom of each pole that the puppeteers would use, I created a stand that would hold the dragon in place during construction and while off-stage. The originals were all 1-1/4" PVC. It was too hard to pull the pole out of a female to female connection, so I added a 1" PVC pipe coming up so that the 1-1/4" PVC pole would slide over it easily.
