Fabricating eyeball sockets
A prefabricated ball like this deodorant is handy and comes with a matching housing in which to rotate. Unfortunately as I want eventually to use a hand-made eyeball in another material (wood or possibly stone), this means I will most likely need to create a custom housing to match.Part of this will also most likely be integral to the head that is eventually used.
The eyeball will sit between two plates. The front plate has a round hole with a diameter just slightly narrower than that of the ball.
The back plate has a square hole to allow a contol rod to move unrestricted in any up/down or left/right combination
