These Mechanical Wooden Hands Are Simply Awesome

Bellingham, Washington artist Ivan Owen of Danger First has created a pair of really large and really awesome mechanical hands. What impresses me the most is how detailed they are and how well they move.

He calls them “Gepetto’s Folly,” and created them with a laser cutter using wood, leather, steel, and brass. There are just tons of components that make up each hand. With hands like this, Ivan can take over the world. I would love to see what kind of mechanical armor suit he could come up with.

You can check out check out a video of the hands in action below:

These hands are available to purchase as a set or individually from his MechMadness Designs Etsy shop for $350(USD) each. I don’t recommend punching anyone with these things. It could hurt.

Giant Man Hands Would Creep out Seinfeld

Remember that episode of Seinfeld where he was dating the attractive woman that happened to have man hands? That was one of my favorites. Now you can give someone you love giant man hands too.

You get a pair of giant hands, which means one left and one right for those of you unfamiliar with hands. The hands are 14-inches long, so I think Shaq was the model for these. I wish these were oven mitts, because that would be awesome, but I think latex would melt. Perhaps they could make them out of Silicone instead.

I guess you really can’t do anything with these, but at least you can give them as a gift and saw, “Now you can’t claim I’ve never given you a hand.” These would be perfect for giving a serious high five… to the face. You can buy a pair at ThinkGeek for $35(USD).

Handiheadset: It’s a Giant Hand

hand headset Handiheadset: Its a Giant Hand
Need a hand answering that phone? The Handiheadset is an oversized hand that works as a headset for your phone. Do I need to state the obvious? It’s freakin’ ridiculous. Which is probably why the Kickstarter is juuuuuuust short of it’s goal for funding and production. It just needs to make up the remaining 98% and this thing goes live. Seriously who would use this?
handi headset Handiheadset: Its a Giant Hand
Hang loose my friends. It has a wire to plug into the jack of any phone and the underside of this giant hand is open with a handle to hold on to. So to answer the question, no this giant hand handset is not hands-free. And it’s just $33 to get in on this deal. There must be more Carrot Top fans somewhere out there looking for a handset, right?

Star Trek Spock Hand Business Card Holder

When you’re traveling the galaxies of the 23rd century, you really don’t need business cards. You never see Capt. Kirk giving out his card when he meets anyone. But living here in the 21st century, business cards are still widely used. And for Star Trek fans, there’s no better way to hold them on your desk than with a Spock Hand Business Card Holder. Made of polystone and measuring 6.5″ tall, this Vulcan salute is a definite conversation starter. If you want one, you will have to live long and prosper though, since it’s not coming out until October.

Breast Gymnastics Hand Massager

Need a hand with that? This very odd and very Japanese health product purports to shape and tone your bust into a better form via a hand-like massage. In fact the Breast Gymnastics Hand Massager (love that name btw) is actually modeled after a real woman’s hand- Takiko Shindo (“famed for her miraculous breast gymnastics” apparently). Just grab the hand and let Takiko massage you in those places you normally can’t reach and return your boobs to their original buoyant beauty. Uhhhmmm yeah.

Take your seasoning literally with the Pinch and Dash Salt and Pepper Shaker Set. These hand shaped porcelain shakers will let you add a “pinch” or a “dash” or salt and pepper. It’s just like having “Thing” from the Addams family at your kitchen table (hot tip: don’t let Cousin It do the cooking, he always gets hair in the food). Measures about 3.25″ by 2.25″ each. I’ve got to hand it to this one, it’s really got it’s finger on the pulse of design.
