Relaying  a request from a local nature educator, can any of you 
mountmakers out there  point me to resources on designing and building skull mounts 
that allow the  jaw to be opened and closed? We're looking at a range of 
mammal skull replicas  from a skunk to a grizzly bear.

Thanks in advance,
