Prototype hand lamp. Need to work on fingers. But very fun 

That's great! Like the retro style bulb too.

And the title - I was expecting a flashlight or one of those railroad style lanterns. LOL

Thanks.

That is stupendous.

No less for a prototype.

That's awesome! And a bit creepy  But way more awesome!

 

Thanks. Was going for the creepy crypt keeper hand look. 

Thinking possibilities of use are endless. 

Wonderful forging. Great idea. I'm sure someone will point out that you might want to consider a sleeve of some type to cover the wire connections.

Yes. Thanks. Just a concept at this point. 

I will  bring some stuff home from work to shrink wrap the connections. Right now I've just got them insulated with hot glue. 

I would bond the frame if I am to give as gift /sell etc. 

what gregerly said. creepy but sweet.

Pics of back. Couldn't get good ones once it was assembled and coated. 

Love it.  

 

Very nice. Al

Thanks. 

I can definitely dig it. 

Thanks. 

I think they'll be handy to have around. 

 

I had to say it

Pardon my rather sketchy drawing, but if you needed something to protect the bulb (probably too obvious), you could go with a spider web kind of look.

How did you run the wiring up through the hand?

This project has my head spinning with ideas. 

I know what you mean.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

Couldn't resist slipping that in there. lol

I drilled from the back at an angle. 

Ran the wires through the chase  

like the web look  

 

 

That is creepy cool alright! I declare a "winner winner moose steak dinner!" level of excellent mental image to cold steel success. 

The back of the hand and arm have some great texture and details. You've got my head cooking with ideas some sort of goofy like having to shake a hand like this to make the door bell work. 

Thanks for sharing the pics and idea with us, this is one of the things that make Iforge such a great place to hang out.

Creative thinking there, 58!
