Start of a SteamPunk arm

We have a friend getting married at the end of June at the SteamPunk Festival and I am creating a mechanical arm. Here are the first pics.







Didn't have pictures of the inbetween-here is the arm closer to a finished piece.





I need to add the thumb as well as the inside mechanical part to be able to actually move the fingers. And some more gears and gauges and tubes and stuff.
