For a Punch and Judy show, 2-in. square quartering should be used for making the frame, which should be about 3 ft. square and 9 ft, high. The four uprights should be in 10-ft. lengths, halved in the centre so as to work telescope fashion in clamps, and put together with 3-in. carriage bolts, so that the frame may not only be portable, but will allow of being reduced in height if desired. The side pieces of the framework may have iron angle flanges, one-half of the angle being 6in. long, and the other half 2in. long. Screw the longer half 4in. on to the batten; this will leave a square of 2 in., which goes round the uprights and is fixed to them by a 3-in. carriage bolt. Twelve short lengths will be required for the sides of the framework. Upon the four bottom pieces, about 1 ft. from the ground, boards are placed as a platform for the operator; a shelf about 6 in. wide is also fixed on which the figures are worked. Above the shelf is the proscenium, which is about 2ft. 6in. high. Make a green baize covering in two parts, so that the top half may drop over the bottom half.
