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.

Wow. That's amazing.

If you have any idea, do you think this would work on a hand about half a metre square?

Yes? I mean in theory it should be possibly, probably just have to use lighter materials

I'm not sure what size eye bolts I used anymore. But they were quite small. The washers were fender washers
