The Secular Telescoping Yad

Step 5 Add pointer finger

Take the other pin and place it on the piece, slightly overlapping the thumb pin, and to the slightly right of the thumb pin (for right hand) or to the left if you are making a left hand. I slightly bent the pin to create the slight appearance of a knuckle. This can be done after soldering, but doing so before soldering helps you figure out how best to orient the pin. the tip of the thumb should come up to the "second knuckle" of the pointer finger. Refer to the diagram, if this is confusing. Wrap with enameled wire again and solder in place. This may cause the solder for the thumb pin to melt again , so make sure the enameled wire is wrapped around the whole piece.
