Intro to an old fidler

[Fidler]

How did you find PF?

A google search for information regaring materials to use in making a bowling arm.

Hi, I am an 85 year-old tinkerer who tends to get obsessive about trivial projects. My current project is an 'arm' to assist less able lawn bowlers in rolling bowls. I have made a rough prototype but was hoping to get some tips and ideas on materials, etc from members to tidy it up.
Hopefully I will be able to contrbute to the forum in some way although I am getting a bit long in the tooth!

Welcome to PF!

The best way to start is to share what you've done so far, such as material selection and design.

The Mechanical Engineering (ME) forum is the best forum for that.

Here's a thread on building a prosthetic arm and how people have approached the problem.

You would open a new thread for your project in the ME forum, introduce your ideas, and see what happens next.
