Dave Vogt was born without his left hand. From birth, he began wearing a hook in its place. What was a part of life for Dave soon inspired Mark Stark.
Mark went to work in his home and put together a prosthetic hand his friend could use for the tasks where a hook would fall short. Called the Natural Dexterous Hand, it is not only gentle enough to lift a wine glass, but it is strong enough to pick up a chair, reports Suburban Journals.

The palm of the hand uses the grip from a glove. Other building materials include rivets, fishing line, screws and springs.
