Introduction: Build a Hand From Zip Ties, Cardboard, and Fishing Line.

About: Just a financially challenged tinkerer/maker that has found out failure is the most important part of learning.


Hello Instructables Community! This is a prototype build of a hand made from cheap common materials. The end goal is to make an animatronic hand that can fingerspell ASL.

This is a near complete start to finish build with video in three parts. It might be best to listen to the intro and watch the rest at a high speed playback rate. This is my first instructable and I have learned a lot.

Thanks for watching
