this looks like the easiest way to do it!

[BluScoutBonk]

Wow, these big long, strong robot arms could actually be pretty HANDY, man! Handy...man... HANDY MAN! I wanna make these for a bioshock cosplay now!

[iamcaboose]

i know how I'm making the arms for my T-60 power armor cosplay now.

[icallshenanigansi]

[boilingaction]

Good taste of music. Grunge never dies! :) Thumb up for the video

[FanGirlYell]

Wow... Those robo-fingers really move... You are so damn epic.

Hey, wanted to let you know I really appreciate your artistic ability. Your videos are inspiring me to create a space in my dwelling to do these kinds of projects including a small swallow forge for armor crafting, if im feeling ambitious enough!

[MagnumSanada]

Dude, this is awesome.

You just gave me the reference to make Vi's arms for ACEN. Mad mad mad props to you dude.

[MegaTrooper]

HA just found this tutorial last week and now your vid, cool

[Mysteroo]

Where did you get such good pen springs for this? Using cardboard, which is lighter weight so it should be easier to spring back, I attached some springs from unused pens over each joint. They SORT OF work, but they're pretty weak

[forrestfeist]

Can you please specify the sizes for all of the items? I am finding it confusing getting the right sized items.

[JCinLapel]

Thank you saved me a ton of effort. I am planning out a cosplay for a friend. He is a large guy 6'4" and wears 4X clothing so the idea is Hulk Braker Ironman turning his plus size into a plus. this is a much eiser way to do the hands

[wombythewizard]

Is it possible to grab something with the hand and lift it?

[Jesslayc]

You could even get some foam and cover it in thats and make it like a hulk arm! That would be pretty grody :D

[anderGL]

This could be really useful and cool for a handyman.

[Alexak]

I'm making this for Halloween!! Can't wait!!

[BlackheartChimera]

You know this makes a lot more sense then how Indy Mogul did there robotic arm. NOT that I hate there tutorial but this has given me a better idea how to make my robotic arm (Iron Fist of War V.2) since when I tried it there way with bigger PVC pipe they had a way of sliding around and not aligning when I let it spring back. still not sure about hinges since mine will be covered in EVA foam. Any suggestions?

[JoshLegoMaster]

I've seen SO many versions of wolverine's claws out there, and I was wondering if you could make one with a lock and everything? ;)

[Tanaka_Town]

I like how you really didn't give a F**K and that is what is so awesome!
Just so you know, you are amazing and out of all the DIYs I've seen this is one of the only ones that I will actually make!

Your Awesome.

there's nothing wrong with sewing I've been sewing since I was 5! plus cosplay involves a bit of sewing!
like my dragon costume....
that took 4 months of hand sewing for all the tiny little scales
