Jaw breaker

The original jaw for the full-size Uncle Earl was a solid piece of urethane.  A little too heavy, I think.  So I've used a Dremel saw, a chisel and hammer, and a Dremel grinder to hollow it out.  I'll add a thin flat piece of styrene across the top for the tongue to rest upon.  The center portion will remain hollow.  The remodeled model will be used to make a new mold.

By the way, I killed my Dremel doing this.

    I can see where that'd do it, yeah! Love these little backstage insights, Kenny.
