Yep, that's right folks. After blowing his hands off accidentally while blast-fishing with homemade explosives he made his own prosthetic hands.

The design is very much on the principle of another awesome (albiet questionable) fellow from an earlier day:

Wow that is quite amazing. I feel bad for the poor guy. but for him to make one of those hands. With grips and everything. Its great he able to do that.

I often wish there was ways they can just give out free hands for disable people. This world really just need that in my opinion.

I know there's a fund to ensure anyone with Hansen's disease can be cured. Sadly, more people aren't aware of it and allow the disease to progress.
Yes, it would be much better if at least something basic can be provided for anyone who needs it. We have a lot of disabled vets around here who can attest to how helpful their pieces are. There's a lot of simple, everyday things that become tedious and difficult without an arm or a leg.
