Thanks for answering my questions. I am enjoying these the behind the scenes and posts you do.
The hands do look great. I had to laugh when you said whenever your at your computer you bend the test finger. I imagine any time you have to wait for the computer to do something you're bending the finger, almost like your version of a stress relief toy. :)
LOVING the way the hands are looking, Jeff! Fantastic. Here's what I'm wondering, riffing off of JON's ? comment yesterday, instead of rigid epoxy putty inside the tubing, how about keeping it flexible by wrapping the floral wire in tight coils of thread and then dipping the fingers in a couple coats of latex? Anything soft to protect the wire for nicks.
Animators often report that it is the nicks that are deadly for all wire armatures. Avoid the nicks!

Glad you're loving the hands.
