The Build: Finished Prototype, Sketching Metal, and Prototyping Piston

This week I finished making the prototype of my gauntlet that is made out of paper. I put together the last finger, the thumb, and fastened the knuckle plate and the glove together. Now that the prototype is done I will start tracing the modified design on the paper to the sheets of metal that I have. To this I will have to first take apart the prototype of the gauntlet and use the paper pieces to trace the shapes and sketch them into the metal. This would allow me to snip out the pieces using snips to make the gauntlet out of

metal to make it a proper gauntlet; however, I feel that before I get to into finishing the gauntlet I should focus more on my piston. So next week I will be both working on sketching the design for the gauntlet onto my sheets of metal, as well as working on the design and prototype of the piston mechanism.
