Description So here's how I made the hand for all those who asked.


And here's the finished product in motion

mistake caught! it's actually 52 eye bolts!

edit*

and for all those who will or have asked. It cost me under $50 Canadian to build. I don't know what it would cost in American as I don't live there, have the same stores, or really care. but you can just use google to convert the currency and give yourself a ballpark figure.

Villainocity In reply to ??? [2009-01-24 17:44:51 +0000 UTC]

This is pretty awesome. I like the fact that this is made entirely from easily attainable items. One trip to Lowe's/HomeDepot/etc.. would do it.

aternox In reply to Villainocity [2009-01-24 20:16:16 +0000 UTC]

yep, i hit up home depot and a dollar store. i think it costs under $50 all together (and that's $50 canadian)

So the metal is it aluminum?

how'd you mold it so well?

aternox In reply to VodkaScene [2009-01-24 20:22:14 +0000 UTC]

um i actually used steel plating (you can get at home depot in like roofing or with eaves) it's only about 1/8" thick so it bends well, but it's strong

not that much, you can get a lot of the materials from dollar stores.

robertllynch In reply to ??? [2009-01-24 14:04:38 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty awesome. Similar to those cheap plastic extendo-hands at Toys-R-Us, but much more stylish.

Although, I can't imagine that it'd have much practical griping ability... Possible suggestion to anyone who might want to make this: Add 1/2 inch circular rubber pads to the fingertips. Something like a jar opener would work well.

aternox In reply to robertllynch [2009-01-24 20:27:16 +0000 UTC]

originally i planned on lining the inside of the finger tips with more leather, but i wasn't planning on really picking anything up...although it's been used to pick up coke cans with success.

robertllynch In reply to aternox [2009-01-24 20:29:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, leather would fit better with the style.
