I'm trying to figure out where to get the metal finger tubes for my hands. How can I get a hold of the links without having to our my own in a clay mold using my welding torch?

Can You buy a pipe and cut it to required lengths?

That's a good idea. I like that and yes I could. I never thought about using half of a pipe. I kept thinking about a squared piece of material, but a half pipe will make it easier to put the latex over it. Thanks.

I saw this article and I think I'll make fingers with steel rods and create a pulley system using Dyneema like they did. Hopefully someone else finds this helpful, too.
