Extension assist glove

[curious aardvark]

well what I was thinking was a leather base, with the exoskeleton attached.

The easy way to go would be to find some cheap, thin leather gloves and attach the elasticated exoskeleton fingers to the backs of the fingers.
Yeah it'd look weird.
But it would be pretty easy to do and and you don't need to go into the whole prosthetic limb aspect.
Just sprung 'joints' along the bacl of the glove fingers.
If you cut the tips of the glove fingers off - then you have fingertip feeling.

Kinda like the 'fingerless' gloves I'm wearing now (it's bloody cold in my workshop this time of year). But longer as you want them to extend most of the way along the final section of the finger. So cutting the tips from normal gloves is a much simpler option.

The exoskeleton could simply be stitched or glued to the back of the glove fingers.

Also makes it dead simple to put on and take off - although on reflection, how easily can you put on gloves ?
You could also apply the same principle to any kind of glove. garden gloves, dog walking gloves etc

Have a look at openscad - I find it much much easier to work with than all the gui based 'drawing' cad programs.

It works purely on you telling it what to draw and where.

A lot of it depends on how your brain works - if you visualise things in 3d but can't draw in 2d (like me) it's soooo much easier to use than a wysiwig based cad package.
