58er Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Prototype hand lamp. Need to work on fingers. But very fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58er Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks. Was going for the creepy crypt keeper hand look. Thinking possibilities of use are endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Stephens Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 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. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58er Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Oly, WA Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 How did you run the wiring up through the hand? This project has my head spinning with ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 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. Frosty The Lucky.
