Step 4The Frame.
The frame that supports the arm has four beams - two vertical and two diagonal.
The Vertical Beams
Cut and crease - note that the flaps at one end of the beam do not all get creased.
Glue the long flap and fold the piece into a square-section beam. Make sure the three holes line up (you should have just glued one hole over another).
Pierce holes at the three dots, then glue the outside of three of the flaps at the end with the dots. Fold the three glued flaps on top of each other, then cover the third glued flap with the fourth, dry flap.
At the other (lower) end of the beam, glue one of the creased flaps, fold it down, and fold the opposite flap on top of it.
You should now have a beam with two flaps sticking out at one end.
Repeat with the other beam.
The Diagonal Beams
Cut and crease.
Glue the long(ish) flap, and fold the piece into a square-section beam. You should have six loose, unglued flaps.
Repeat with the other diagonal beam.

Repeat with the other diagonal beam.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I have a new computer, and did not re-install the, er, borrowed software I used to draw those templates. I'll just have to rely on observant users like yourself.
