I'm going to a fancy dress party next weekend with a James Bond theme. I couldn't be bothered to hire a tux and pretend to be 007 or wear lycra and paint myself gold, so I decided to go as this guy:    Tee Hee from Live and Let Die. What a perfect opportunity to make a mechanical crushing hand  I'm going to make it properly so it can actually crush stuff and hurt people. It might not be fully functional by next week, but it'll be close and good enough to give a nasty nip or maybe take off an ear. I started off by drawing up some templates in paper and cutting them out:  I then drew round them onto some thick steel and started cutting. The radial cuts help get the jigsaw blade round:  Getting there with the cutting. Can you see where this is going yet?  To make sure the two outer parts are identical I tacked them together and finished the shape as a pair:  And this is as far as I've got to today:   The idea is to get it looking something like the end of this by the end of the week:  |

Haha, brillient idea. Like you say, much better than hiring a tux and pretending to be Bond, plus you get to mess around with metal.
Perhaps as a helpful and light hearted addition, you could sneek in a little lip for popping the tops off bottles of beer. Having said that, you might be able to just butcher them off anyway once working!
Top marks.

hey do you have a watch like the one he takes off bond....in the scene in the where hes locked onto the chair. think Bond says Butter Hook in that scene
if you can get a similar watch. you could practice getting it off a bottle or something of wrist thickness. so that you don't hurt someone...too much

I think the circular cut out should be the appropriate size for a pint glass....  |

Lol ;D Bit of progress because I've been working on this today... For the sleeve I rolled a piece of sheet steel. An A4 size was ideal, which was convenient as it gave me a template to draw round. I don't have any special kit to do this, I just pulled it round a piece of pipe and welded it:  No excuses for my poor workmanship. I'm in a hurry to get this done so it doesn't have to be immaculate  Try it for size:   Yep, that fits! It needs an end, again just sheet steel with a slot cut in it for the claw to fit through:  I've skipped a bit now, but I made the end a bit oversize so I can peen the edges over so they're curved. I just beat them roughly in with a hammer and I'll tidy it up when I weld it on. I made up a little mount out of some angle and conveniently found a small clock spring in my box of bits, so the claw springs back by itself:  Slightly less blurry view here and you can see how it all fits together, with that lever at the top operating the claw:  Rargh! |

I think the circular cut out should be the appropriate size for a pint glass.... THIS!!!! Genius idea btw (Jaws is another good option for originality at such parties - just need a check shirt, braces, tinfoil & orange peel ) |
