dude..... you just gave me the awesomeoust idea... so i drew it on paint.... PAINT ROXXORZ FTW! ... sorry had to get that outta my system. But yeah, i think itd be simpler than making a hand... and itd just be the coolest thing in the world to have a mechanical hand with 6inch knives for fingers.

Mar 6, 2008. 6:02 AMvt805 says:

dont forget the flame thrower wich u can easily make out of low cost butane burner.. its nothing without the flame thrower PS. u can get powerfull lasers out of dvd burners (they can even light a match)

Aug 6, 2008. 2:47 PMpolop says:

freakin sweet/huge.

Jun 28, 2008. 11:52 PMWard_Nox says:

could this be done w PVC?

Jul 1, 2008. 2:28 PMAlexTheGreat (author) says:

sure

Feb 21, 2008. 2:41 PMmattbeddow says:

Ive found that u can use a bicycle chain with a ribon or similar threaded through and then attached to one end makes a very good finger when the ribon is pulled. with a bit of welding u can make larger sections rigid and stop the finger bending the wrong way. this is a bit harder though but gives a nicer result. Sorry i dont have any pics at the mo. I think the mythbusters did a similar thing once

Feb 22, 2008. 8:55 AMfd93 says:

Ya they did. During the Ninja Special Adam and Jamie were trying to catch an arrow with a hand built with that technique

Jun 21, 2008. 11:29 AMKILL-BOT 1 says:

on a previous episode adam explained how the hand he made actually go him the job on mythbusters!

Feb 21, 2008. 2:15 PMGeoffrito says:

Nice instructable. I tried something similar on a smaller scale with some sheet copper and steel, but couldn't find anything decent for the pull-strings...

Feb 22, 2008. 11:46 AMAlexTheGreat (author) says:

Feb 22, 2008. 12:07 PMGeoffrito says:
