Dont know how I missed this before, but:
Thanks to Aaron Cantrell,
The basic measurements of Buick Yip’s Wooden dummies are:
A Longquan sword maker is selling Bat Jom Do on eBay as “lqyanggu”.
I suspect this the retail website:

These swords are dangerous to the user! They look pretty but are very poorly constructed! Do not buy these if you value your fingers and eyeballs.
The blade is not securely attached to the handle, and the handle is actually hollow. This is hidden with the cord that wraps the handle, so you won’t even notice this critical flaw until they snap in half and you impale yourself.

The year of the Dragon is looking to be very exciting. Check in for updates. We may start up a regular weekly class at a new San Francisco or SF Bay location. Distance learning and custom training equipment is also a possibility. Join us at the San Francisco Chinatown Community Street fair on Febuary 11th for a US Wing Chun Demonstration.

In my research I’ve come across quite a few sets of wooden dummy blueprints. I’ve found five sets of plans of interest, from the Duncan Leung, Samuel Kwok, Ip Ching, Wong Shun Leung and William Cheung lineages of Wing Chun. Most of these plans are probably based off of a dummy that was made by Koo Sang. There are other well illustrated dummy plans out there, but I have declined to include these as I could not research the origin of the design or lineage of the practitioner.
Duncan Leung:
I have been researching Wing Chun Dit Da Jow since my teacher gave me a copy of our recipe. During that time I came across a number of prescriptions already available to the public.
