- In this video I dispel the notion that my Prosthetic hand is nothing more than CGI. I also take the time to explain in depth how the mechanics of my hand operate in order to function in such an anthropomorphic way.

I think it's funny that people just can't accept that you're just a really intelligent guy who has built a bunch of partial prosthetics by yourself, for yourself, with only one and a half hands.
Those same people are likely the ones who also say that aliens built the pyramids and that humans haven't gone into space. Some people cannot fathom an intelligence greater than their own unless it is somehow extra-human/divine/magical.
@@anonymous_protagonistI can't agree more with how accurate this is
@@anonymous_protagonist kinda saddening that instead of looking at what could be achieved literal ages ago with simple tools, how far humanity can go and how pretty much one guy can figure out how to make a mechanical prosthetic that works quite well and make it
@anonymous_protagonist I mean isn't saying that the group of people who dont believe in his prostetic, also are deliusional about historical events a straw man argument or the very least the beginning of one.
I agree that it's quite clear that his hand is real, but not all of the people who didn't believe it before, aren't all completely delusional. I think it's fine that people were skeptical a bit, but this video should put that to rest.
The reason I'm even commenting about this, is that its possible that in some contexts people may have a hard time believing in how truly extraordinary the prosthetic thats been built and that's ok. It's really only after very clear evidence is presented and if it's still denied then I think we can start to say someone is likely delusional.
Thats why when people say aliens built the pyramids we collectively eye roll, there is clear archeological and anthropological evidence on how and when they were created, yet that is denied by some people. Which is delusional.
@@danielwasserlauf4516 "Thats why when people say aliens built the pyramids we collectively eye roll, there is clear archeological and anthropological evidence on how and when they were created, yet that is denied by some people. Which is delusional."
You touched upon the basis for my statement. With even the slightest bit of due diligence the deniers could've reviewed the available evidence of the prosthetics' development as documented in his videos and seen that it is obviously real. Those that chose to deny the available evidence are delusional and those that didn't bother are willfully ignorant. Both are traits exhibited by alien historians and space deniers.
Not sure how people call this fake with how much documentation there is for it. Though it is certainly cool enough to seem fake
You think people like that pay attention to the documentation?
This would be such a high-IQ fake that its more realistic to assume its real
So, we have "Hand-hoaxers" now? 😀
I mean, if I have learned anything from the art corner of Twitter, his hand is obviously AI generated.
we're at an era where information is a few keypresses away, and yet people will swallow misinformation just for shits n' giggles.
A prosthetic hand built entirely with mechanical components without the need for chips, servos, or batteries while being this articulated is pretty dang impressive.
Even more impressive when you consider he built it with his own one and a half hands.
Its a bionic hand actually for that precise reason. Prosthetics by definition have no articulating parts; theyre limited to things like peg legs, spoon legs, hook hands, etc.
Everything else is bionic, "bion" meaning "life" & the suffix "ic" meaning "like" in latin.
@@1nfamy124 Thank you, I will now use this definition to my writing.
Götz von Berlichingen had one made in the 1500's that was capable of everyday use. He could even use a quill (he was a warrior poet).
More progress has been made with prosthetics by random guys in their garages in the past decade than the entire medical industry in the past century
That’s the most anime prosthesis I’ve ever seen, and your cats are beautiful, this video is an absolute 10/10
The clowns saying this is CGI:
1)Need their eyes checked
2)Have unrealistic ideas about how expensive realistic CGI is
3)both
Yeah idk why they think it would be easier to cg it would probably be as much work either way to make it convincing
These people should probably have their internet privileges revoked until they're of age.
some stuff are easier to make irl then it is in cgi!
It's the same audience who believe in time travelers in tiktok
reminds me of "Stanley Kubrick did fake the moon landing, however he was such a perfectionist that he insisted of filming on location."
Dude is just a real life artificer and you can't change my mind. Not just a prosthetic, but a work of art.
Looks to me like he's about to place a mini sentry.

This is truly amazing! I must tell you as a wounded soldier you are a true inspiration of how you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. Thank you for your ingenuity and I pray you have a blessed life!
I pray the same to you. Thank you for your service 💜
Your mechanical palm is just brilliant, Ian! :)))))
Robotic companies must hate you already :D
No paid subscriptions, no software, no electronics, just couple of metal bars, gears and chains
They really don't. While this is a really ingenious solution that is "low-tech" and therefor accessible, it covers only a small subsection of injuries. I'd argue the smaller one, not that I know the stats, but it just seems likely whatever can take 4 of your fingers can just as easily take your whole palm or forearm. Once you cannot rely on the hand motions is where the current problems in prosthetics are, and where the vast majority of the investments go. And if you actually look at the research, it is searching for unified control systems, that can intergrade at motor plate, axon, and even brain stem level. Current prosthetics can give you individual finger motions and the ability to write again with a missing arm up to the shoulder. I get it, I also like the absolutely metal look of his prostatic, but that is not what you would give to a 10 year old that lost its arm in a car crash.
If that was cgi, this man would be more skilled then an entire cg team on a marvel movie 😂
In defense of the CGI team for Marvel, they're all very talented, it's just that Disney is a shitty company that goes back on a lot of the scenes. (This is why literally every Marvel Movie is shot with the actors in Mocap, they never commit to a final vision, and even months away from a deadline will change it if they feel like it.)
He'd have more time
The thing to remember is that a single second in a movie is 24 frames. Let's assume that in a movie that is 2 hours long, exactly half of it contains CGI. That means there are 86400 frames that contain CGI in that movie. Even if your success rate at doing convincing CGI is 99.9%, that's stil A LOT of frames left over where artifacts happen. And the thing about CG artifacts is that you'll probably notice them if you know enough about CGI to have opinions about its quality.
There genuinely isn't a ceiling on how much budget you can blow on perfecting this stuff. The amount of money you could pump into it is exponential, and literally nobody is able to pay what it would require to perfect it to that extent. If your success rate is already 99.9%, chasing those decimal points is a horrible use of budget. But if you don't, you cannot get rid of the subtle artifacts produced by it.
"Good Enough" is already insanely expensive to reach, "Perfection" is insurmountable in a commercial setting. We're good at CGI, but we're not even in the same ballpark that it would take to run this youtube channel based on faking it, but still not producing videos full of artifacts.
@@brandonnguyen6718 I feel like age of ultron was the last good cgi before it went down hill
When I saw violet evergarden in the background I expected this to be a neat video about making fake prosthetics for cosplay and stuff but instead I just learnt that there now are people who don't even believe in simple mechanics
Imagine what Ian could do for cosplay, given that he builds this stuff at this quality and level of usability for practical real-life use...
Of course "simple mechanics" is a lie --- it doesn't support a flat earth and therefore is necessarily false. Surely? Hm.
@@SenselessUsername What the hell are you even talking about?
It's called a joke.@@OddlyIncredible
To any of you nay sayers. Ian has been a friend for quite sometime... i was introduced to him by another fab shop who didnt want to do the small number of parts i was looking for.. Ian is very intelligent and skilled at what he does... i can tell you his hand 100% real and totally functional.. hes offered to do a single digit for me because i lost my pointer finger.. he took a mold of it. I just havent had time to visit him and work out the details....😊❤
honestly I think the fact that you made this for yourself is amazing
and although I cant imagine the struggle of missing 4 fingers, and as possibly insensitive as it is to say, i can't help but mention, that robotic hand looks fucking awesome
I've seen you pop up in my feed a few times over the years, but it never ceases to amaze me how you're able to come up with such a complex hand entirely mechanically.
As a CGI artist myself, I can only be flattered people would think us both creative and knowledgeable enough in engineering to come up with something like that.
Hats off to you, sir.
Basically every dismissal of someone's skill with the cry of of "it's CGI!" are just unintentional backhanded compliments.
For real though, doing this to the level of realism displayed in these videos through CGI would require herculean efforts on its own right. It wouldn't actually be less work to fake it, it would just be a different kind of insane workload. Arguably, it would be *harder* to fake it with no errors you can catch.
Like, the only situation in which it makes any sense to fake this would be if the hand literally cannot exist in reality and function like it does. Otherwise, there's not really a budget cap on how much you'd have to spend to get rid of all the artifacts. There's a reason why you can spot CGI at a glance in TV shows, if you actually know what you're looking at.
ahh dont sell yourself short :D Im sure you could create something like this in CGI.
Take 3D printers for example. I have seen clips of some really intersting stuff with moving parts and all, created in one single production. For that, the Creator has to program the Object in a 3D software, correct? If there is no conflict in the 3D software, it should work as real object.
i have no clue how CGI artists work, but isnt there a slight similarity between the processes of creating a digital 3D object for a 3D printer and creating a 3D object for CGI?
@@smaragdwolf1 Creating the 3D object is the easy part.
The hard part is compositing it into an existing scene in a way that is correct.
I saw the background and thought you were doing an “expert reviews” style analysis of fictional prosthetics… and now I really do want that.
I didn't know that I did until I read this, but I definitely do, too.
I suggested this on Ian's Patreon, but he's too busy doing actual work. 😂
Same, mostly because I didn't want to believe people out there were braindead enough to claim his hand was the fictional one.
Bro let the man decide for himself
@@benodaboy dude, one thousand percent yes. I'm not requesting content, but he did ask for suggestions for interim content other than unboxings and reviews
i think it’s inspiring that it’s so good the only explanation some people can come up with is “it’s fake”
I’ve watched this hand be crafted for a while now. I cant remember which iteration of it I came in on. But your work is immaculate. Frankly, I’m enamored with what you’ve done. This is the kind of work I wish more people could do for themselves, in fact. Do continue your incredible ways, you absolute genius.
As someone who does 3D modeling and rigging for animations, this version of Ian's prosthetic would likely be almost impossible to rig with how mechanically complex it is, even with inverse kinematics. The engineering that he put into his prosthetics is incredible
I would not say it is impossible, however is much more practical to just make the real one.
Besides, 3D model that animate and work for real are quite rare.
Yeah, that's the funny thing, people don't even know that making that thing in 3d, rigging, rendering and compositing it in so seemlessly would likely be even harder than the phisical one, not to take away from this awesome piece of engineering
@@bananasplit566true
Just animate each movement and wish hell was real
@@bananasplit566 The funny thing is to make it he's made the whole 3d model for in CAD software I believe, then he had to build and assemble the whole physical thing, constantly tweaking the design to make it so it's hard to say which would be harder. For making a CG model you would have to model and rig it, but then also texture it, do camera tracking (to a rapidly moving and swinging around hand, one that would somehow also need to appear to be inhibited by the model), and compositing to make it match the lighting and the camera.
The fact is they're both insane projects that would take immense but comparable effort, though doing years worth of CG effort just to dupe people (and not flex your CG skills) makes no sense, while years of making a prosthetic hand that matches his unique design and preference criteria and showing it off on the internet does make way more sense.
I have a masters degree in mechanical engineering and let me tell you that this is not just a piece of absolutely aesthetic engineering, no! This is a master class of a piece of usefull art. Absolutely beautfull!
Prosthetics companies need to hire this guy for R&D
@@Zane-It Nah, major national governments need to give him a suitable team, the best-equipped lab money can buy, and the budget needed to outfit everyone on the planet that needs "helping hands." Single-handedly lead a revolution in post-traumatic prosthesis engineering.

I'm saying this as someone who actually has worked on class 3 medical robots. If you want a fast dev cycle, then don't get the government involved... ever. hahaha
This is the most impressive thing I've seen on TH-cam.
Hands down
I don’t have prosthetics or know anyone that does but when I seen this I had to leave a comment because your design is truly amazing it looks like something out of a sci fi movie I think I commented on one of your videos before a while ago I appreciate you showing off exactly how your hand works at the very least it was very interesting.
I've worked in a machine shop, and I've also dabbled a bit in CGI, and I can confidently say that, while a skilled team of artists given enough time and money could certainly reproduce a convincing facsimile of your hand in CGI, it would require more far more man hours to make it look that realistic than it would to just build it for real. I mean, designing it in 3D would take the same amount of effort either way. And while I'm sure getting all the parts made and properly fitted is quite challenging, when you make it for real, you don't have to worry about the geometry clipping, or the lighting not matching the environment, or imperfections in the compositing, etc. We should start a campaign to bring this to the attention of the Corridor Crew. They can do a debunking episode on it similar to what they did comparing their fake robot video to real footage from Boston Dynamics. I'd love to see them try to make a CGI hand look as real as yours!
and i work at Microsoft and i've also built robots , and i can confidently say that everything in this video is 101% fake.
@@MrTeddy12397 No you dont, no you cant.
@@sergeantsonso3490I think it was satire
@@justseffstuff3308 oh, maybe. in hindsight, it looks like that.
also on the flipside: if this WERE cg, it'd beg the question of how this guy wasnt working for pixar or something being able to make such a convincing fake on a smaller-side youtube budget
The fact he still has his thumb and part of his hand above the wrist makes a lot of what he is doing possible. The fact his prosthetic works off the hand motion he has left, is genius level wizardry. Would love to see what he could do with a foot.
Oh jeez your right. A foot has the potential to be magnificent
Ingenuity!
its suh a shame that all these injuries often require bespoke solutions beause it would be way easier to get these out to people if so.
@@supernovalabsyou could simply mold the Injured to fit the solution for all. it's not like you can double break a hand 😅
As the saying goes
"Necessity is the mother of inventions"
You are amazing, i couldn't even imagine complexity of designing and making this prosthetic!
Love seeing updates on this project
Respect for Violet Evergarden on the desktop.
It's a great job that you were able to make such a functioning hand. I believe that prosthetics should be actively developed so that even the poor segments of the population have the opportunity to purchase an inexpensive but functioning prosthesis.
3d printers my friend! its already happening!
you might want to look up "e-Nable hub", or look for a local hub from them =) but they are nowhere near close to his level, they have more basic 3d prints
@@garethjones6342 before watching, saw your comment:
was he just lucky to have the right wrong hand.
Custom measurements please. A new opportunity and methods of instruction for prosthetics artists generally speaking.
And Edward Ulrich of Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood) is my directly related culture headcanon to me here (oil joke of serious consideration). Amazing how it went for those details on the operating table. Ligaments and tendons.
Try Dark Cut 3 flash game. Be suspicious of me as another headcanon I specifically provide for that sniper episode.
You made the mechanical movement of your prosthetic so natural and close to a real hand that people mistake it with a fully biological one in disguise, that is a real achievement of artcraftmanship.
And to be fair, when I saw the Mad Max movie, I never considered the "Furiosa's mechanical hand" a CGI one.
The mad max one was really well done because first it aint pure bullshitt fantasy as it does follows the principles of prosthetics in what i could see, the cable and spaulder make me think of a reinervation surgery and electrodes plate wich would mean the hand is a kind of mioelectric and mechanic hybrid. In the vfx side of things it was a glove that sharon whore with most the parts of the hand being actual physical elements and only the stump being faked with a green sleve edited out
The hand looks really cool! Also seems to work really well. The movement looks super fluent.
I first saw a gif or short vid of your prosthetic quite some time ago, and could make out the basic movement controls, but could not see how well thought out your grip control works. I'm glad to come across this video and be able to put a face to a hand. I recently got into 3D printing limb devices for other people and am glad to see such innovation.
You got the most natural and expressive prostetic hand I ever saw. All mechanic, no servo, no battery, extremly fast, it rocks! I wouldn't had believe I would subscribe to a prostetic tinkering channel. But you are up there with the DIY perks and the Electro Booms in the top tier of educational/DIY chanels.
He's really lucky to have a thumb left, because I think he wouldn't be able to build a functional one with a mechanical thumb (not hating him, just pointing it out)
@@kolyashinkarev7366 It wouldn't be impossible but thumbs are significantly harder to create because of their range of motion
@@zk0rned it would be severely limited
@@zk0rned As wearable device, sure. But as functional prosthetic, not necessarily. Thumb is controlled by muscles in the palm so it should be possible to somehow adhere to those. Outer joint has limited range of motion already. This kind of mechanical device shown in the video wouldn't do of course, as nice a contraption it is.
I never thought it was fake, not even for a second.
Your prosthetic designs are very elaborate and well thought.
I really like it!
Still the most impressive prosthetic I've ever seen.

He pet the cat in previous videos with the prosthetic.
I saw Violet Evergarden at the beginning and I thought we would be talking about cosplay tips to create a realistic prosthetic prop, or something, but today I learned that people just *cannot* believe this is real, because of how naturally it moves.
That just goes to show just how amazing this piece is!
I love Violet Evergarden.
I was thinking that too. It would be really cool as a prop!

Im impressed with the level of articulation you have achieved and the mechanism is very intuitive once you explained it. Nice backdrop btw

I dont think it would have an impact unless its ball of hair or something solid that can jam the mechanism. As dude above said, its like a bicycle.

I swear, you'd make a watchmaker blush with your level of mechanical prowess
This is absolutely remarkable. You are a craftsman & an artist.
Absolute RESPECT for the way you handled that. 👏
Your honesty and humbleness is why I continue too watch.
I can't believe anyone would say it's fake. It's probably the most advanced mechanical hand every created, and the skills to pull it off can't be overstated. I've always thought if something happened to one of my limbs I'd have to engineer my own prosthetic, and it's INSANELY COOL that Ian is able to do that for himself.
Your prosthetic hand looks straight out of a sci-fi movie, which, as a person who rather enjoys sci-fi, I find incredibly awesome, and the fact it functions so well, and can hold a camera better than an actual hand (my hands especially), is even more incredible!
I love how you describe the function of your prosthetic hand. The design is amazing and I'm always surprised with what people come up with.
Love seeing your content through the years.
I can't believe people said your hand is fake... wow
I've been seeing absolute waves of people unable to accept even basic, normal, innocuous aspects of reality. Something about the last several years has pushed a large segment over the edge and people are lost out there. I'm not even in a public role whatsoever but I sometimes reply to comments and vidoes and I've had people accuse me of working for the CIA, of being in the pocket of various wealthy people and organizations, I've seen people questioning every basic, simple thing in the world. Our species' collective psyche is just breaking down.
People unironically think the Earth is flat. It's not a stretch that some believe physical mechanics is some kind of hoax.
Umm, what kind of *fake* is it?
People think CGI is easy and cheap, nothing new tbh.
This guy makes having a biological hand seem uncool
100% I am in awe!
Lol

The machine is immortal
This blown my mind, so awesome! Amazing prosthetic, will look up for any updates on your progression.
This is beyond beautiful, your work is amazing.
This man is an absolute genius. You're great as always, Ian.
Have you showed that watch attachment before? It's a really cool way to integrating it into the prosthetic hand, not an idea I would've EVER considered!
Caught my attention as well. Although it's been a long time since I've watched a vid of his so i figured I just missed the one where he mighr have included the watch add-on. Nice dial on that as well.
This is one really awesome prosthetic! The watch attached to the prosthetic is a nice touch!❤
This is so cool! Its very inspiring to see you innovate despite your circumstances, and rather than wallow you thrive!
Love the integrated Seiko and the deep dive in to the mechanics of the hand. Fascinating. "Necessity is the mother of invention"
IDK what here could even remotely be considered as CGI except Violet on the back, which is pretty insirational character in channel's context
I have seen your past videos, but I am always amazed at how talented you are for being able create this and have it work so well. It is really wonderful!
Ian! It makes me happy to see that you have done so well!
Ingenious design and execution. Kudos!
Dude your prosthesis is so badass! As a disabled blacksmith and 3D digital designer I love seeing how creative people use their skills to overcome limitations - and this is easily one of, if not the most awesome example I've seen of that. Looking forward to seeing more updates on the design!
Also damn man even without those skill sets it's pretty easy to tell you aren't using CGI, some people just can't comprehend it I guess.
I just noticed the watch is integrated into the hand
Wow just wow.
I only understood like a 1/4 of what you said, this hand of yours is truly a work of art.
One of the most beautiful prosthetics ive seen as well, the mechanical works of it being exposed make it so much cooler to me
I have never clicked "Like" on a video so fast before. The craftmanship alone is astounding, but the ease with which you are able to manipulate that prosthetic is out of this world.
it's wild to me that you are capable of making something so amazing, and even more wild that people refuse to believe it's possible. Hell this is probably the sole coolest thing i've ever seen for aesthetic or artwork reasons, not to mention it actually works as a hand better than most commercial prosthetics i've seen.
It’s not wild, just people being jealous and deluded nihilists
internet sceptics cry CGI on everything.
Amazing work! Mind boggling!
Dude, that is freaking awesome. The watch addition is just extra cool on top.
Your prosthetic moves a lot smoother than I remembered. You must have been improving it a lot
I'm excited to see where it goes in 10+ years
I was literally playing Cyberpunk 2077 and I signed off for the night and I thought I'd see what new videos were on my TH-cam recommended and I saw this video, talk about a spit-take. I could describe you as your own RipperDoc but in reality, you are an extremely talented and creative craftsman. An artisan for yourself. I have the deepest respect for your achievement.
Man, this is just amazing. Such skill and ingenuity!
That looks amazing, great job!
If people started to say that my very own prosthetic hand was cgi, I'd honestly take it as a compliment. Good work man! Absolute masterpiece
I have to say this is 1000x cooler than a real hand. I love the watch integration into it. This is pure engineering passion what you’ve made here.
Should've subbed way back when i saw your early builds. Awesome to see the advances.
So freaking amazing. What a creative engineering mind. To come up with a prosthetic hand with such an accurate movement as a real hand is just incredible. You deserve to be revered for your amazing skill. Incredible!! 😀😀
I am truly impressed by this man's perseverance with his disability. He overcomes his trials with such undeniable ingenuity. Props to him!
Best part is that he's been doing this for YEARS! He has a massive history of old designs, you can literally see how he's designed, built, broken, re-designed, tried new ideas, some just for gimmicky fun, others for practicality, built, broken, designed, built, all the way up to his current hand now which is one of his best. All while, y'know, having only one full hand.
Stop this, really, stop this, and go touch grass. people with disabilities have no trials or stuff like that, they have issues in their daily lives that they have to live with. They do nothing to be inspirational to you. If you find them inspirational that's on you.
@@nielsjensen4185 bro, it sounds like you yourself need to touch grass. sounds to me like you have some sort of problem with people being in awe when someone has a difficulty in their life and put in the time and effort to make that one aspect of their life easier. for you to say that people with disabilities don't have any kind of trials to go through in their lives, tells me that you would in some way see someone with a disability as a burden upon society. so, how about instead of being butt-hurt over someone giving the guy credit for his hard work, maybe go live your life?
@@RosieTheProti nothing wrong with feeling awe over an action and when this kind of phrase is used, "He overcomes his trials..." then no matter what's added to it they're feeling subconscious pity for the person.
You should feel empathy for people with disabilities as the world is default designed to cater to the norm which is people without disabilities and you should never feel pity for them. People with disabilities are just people at the end of the day even though they need special requirements to be fulfilled to be able to function in their daily lives on equal terms, or near equal terms, as people without disabilities.
Seeing you recognizing animes like Violet Evergarden sure puts a smile on my face
Been following you from the beginning and wow the improvement is good🔥
First time seeing your channel and just wanted to say this is amazing
When I was younger I wanted to get a job in creating new more advanced prosthetics so I've alwasy been interested in stuff like this but seeing someone who made something like this at home and by the looks of it all mechanical is just incredible
I'll 100% be returning to your channel
If I remember that it exists that is cause I tend to easily get distracted by random stuff 😅
As others have said, take their disbelief as a compliment. Your work astounds them so much they literally cannot believe it. It's incredible to them, literally.
"your hand is fake" is probably the best compliment someone in that field can have...
I've been wowed the first time, and still am years later!
Man, you have insane skill, good luck with it!
I love the engineering that you put into this
I remember seeing when you first displayed your initial version of that prosthetic online and was and am still amazed by it.
However, people cannot ever wrap their heads around it.
In the same take they are right in one way but wrong in another.
They are right it’s fake, its not your real flesh and blood hand. What’s not fake is that the mechanics and work you put to making it isn’t fake.
possibly one of the coolest and simplistically practical prosthetic hands ive seen, you did an amazing job
I think you should take it as a compliment. You built an insanely cool functional replacement for what you're missing. The mechanical aspect of it is so cool. This is why I want to get into engineering when I graduate. People like you inspire me.
I’m amazed people think this is fake, its an incredible work of art and function. You’re a master craftsman sir
Jesus christ your progress on this has been insane! I dont know how long ive been following, but i remember you first showing off the mock ups for the basic hand. Keep going man, this is absolutely incredible engineering, not only mechanically- but also the biological knowledge you have understanding how a hand moves
The mechanics of the ol' MakerBot and Robohand project with significant additional complexity. Always cool to see.
just found your channel. i am impressed by how genuine you are as well as intelligent. cant wait to see more videos! haters are your motivators
Absolutely amazzing work, it looks incredible.
I’ve watched this channel before, but starting this video and seeing Violet Evergarden was shocking. Really good anime!
I was lucky to meet Ian and get a tour of his shop. He is a great genius of making, designing, testing and explaining things. His work is very real, and amazing.
Hi, I found your channel again, after some years and you did it you got a massive public. I'm so happy to see how this channel has grown.
Ian, first time seeing one of your videos.
This is awesome craftsmanship you are displaying.
I wish good luck with future iteration of your hand prosthetic.
