Got the dowels and all materials needed for the hand. I am going to be using a thin wire instead of yarn - both for strength and ease to incorporate servos with the wire.
Right now I'm shopping for a set of 5 cheap cheap partial rotation servos. If you got a nice one to recommend drop me a link.
I'm debating what to do after getting motors running the initial hand. Should I build a senored glove to act as a control? Hmmm...
