I got the tubing and it is great. While on a tightly rapped roll of a diameter no more that 3 inches I could easly thread 2 metres of nylon coated steel cable into it.
Now thats slippery. Nylon on teflon smooth real smooth. Will be pefect for the tendons in my hand.

Hi,
I have started producing the air muscles. Nine per arm.
I found the cooling fluid on my lathe was smelling a bit funny over the last couple of week.
Dead mouse in the catchment bucket. YUMMY.
I have up dated the picture on my site to a near final drawing.
With the air muscles added and part of the skull enclosed.

Hi, Last udate for 2006. I've built the shoulder. All it needs now is 8 air muscles to strap to it. Pictures at www.arach.net.au/~bones/I need to make new air blocks to mount the air solenoid valves onto to get the air switching I need for the muscles. I've make the special mounting block to mill the finger. That's the next job. I better finish the table mill first to make the job a whole lot easier. Happy new year every one. See you next year.
