Thank you, hope I won’t get stuck for too long in this section though, eagerly waiting for the sculpting/organic sections ( My weak side atm )

Same here. I’m starting to obsess about my lamp. I have in my head what it should look like, but I’m not there yet and I don’t have the skills yet that I need. I’ll keep moving forward.

The fingers are really impressive. I watched the video and I see what you mean with the shape keys and the finger animation. So you can basically move the mesh from the start to the final position for the fingers and essentially assign a slider to it. Brilliant!
