Fake arm

Please upload your photo
Hi, I'd like some good instructions for making the fake arm effectively. I've tried but it's not very good!

Hi & welcome to the Uni. We've seen Monty using the fake arm but I've never seen any instructions on how to make one with a thumb - the tricky bit is getting the thumb to be strong enough. However, Monty gave us an alternative. A walking stick with a curved handle. You can find these in charity shops for reasonable prices. Cold water pipe lagging can be used to pad the handle & that can be taped in place. That's worked well for me. Cheers, Jo.
