The Build: Paper Prototype

Last week I printed out the design I am using on thick paper and cut them out. I then poked holes through the paper in the general area they needed to be in so that with rivets, I could connect the different pieces together. Next I started to put together the different pieces; however, the finger pieces I did not put together because they needed strips of leather to put them together. This week however, I have used substitute strips made from scraps of paper so that I could continue to build the prototype made of paper. With a substitute to leather, I was able to start putting the finger pieces together. When starting this I found that the fingers are much more difficult to fit to the glove than the other parts. This is because there are a lot of little pieces, and there needs to be a lot of free movement for the fingers. All the pieces have to fit perfectly or else one would not be able to move their fingers properly.
