Check out how I make the hinge pins for my prosthetic fingers!
Today I'm making the hinge pins for all of the prosthetic hands that I'm planning to make using the Grant funds that I received from OSV.
I'm using 3/32" (0.095") precision wire from K&S. it is TGP which stands for Turned, Ground, and Polished. its within 0.0005" in diameter.
for the current design of the fingers, there are 6 different lengths of pins needed. I ended up running an entire 36" stick of wire for each of the lengths.
the big push right now is to get all of the standardized parts done before/
Brandon is traveling to the shop this weekend, I'd like to have as much of his device completed before he gets here as I can.
I hope that you enjoy the video. lmk, thanks. Ian
