I could do it in a handful of days, I'm sure, so I don't see why others cannot do the same. Maybe it'd be better for us to offer advice and knowledge about the design of arms similar to what this student is proposing rather than tell them repeatedly that they cannot do it. What sort of inspiration is that, anyway?
