Description

This hand is for our friend Odysseus, who lives in Greece. It is intended to be a starter hand for children with no fingers, a small palm and a short range of motion. I decided on two fingers and a thumb, so that Ody would only be fighting the resistance of three digits. Short, blunt fingers reduce the chance of putting one's eye out. ;)
Here's a little video intro to the Ody Hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM8aV6coqEE
