Skeleton hand project

| |
Since I didnt have a Halloween project in last weeks video, I thought I would make another Halloween video. I really didnt know where this project was going until I got about halfway through it. Once I started laying out the individual bones, it became clearer.
I thought about running a stiff wire through the bones so that the hand could be bent into various shapes, but drilling straight holes through the fingers proved nearly impossible. I suppose the way to have done this would be to drill the holes before sculpting the bones. So I ended up inserting small dowel pins and gluing it together.
I made this bony hand almost completely with my 1" belt sander. Its really a fun tool to shape wood.
