A boy builder creates a non-existent right arm out of Lego blocks



There are over a dozen LEGO-certified professional builders around the world who create actual landscapes and works of art using LEGO bricks. However, one 18-year-old boy has surprised even these builders. David Aguilar was born without a right arm, but he has loved LEGO bricks since he was a child and dreamed of 'one day making his own arm.' After much trial and error, he finally succeeded in creating his own right arm.

'I've always played with Lego since I was a kid...'



'I've built cars, airplanes, and bikes all by myself.'





'And now I've succeeded in creating my own right arm.'



'My name is David Aguilar, I'm 18 years old and I'm from

Andorra .'



'And this is my right arm.'



Aguilar was born without a right arm, and he found it annoying when people around him would say things like, 'You don't have a hand?'



Some people think that his lack of a right arm puts him at a disadvantage, but Aguilar is just a normal boy.

There's also a slightly unusual dad who makes a peace sign when he sees the camera.



'This is the school I go to.'



Instead of using his left arm, Aguilar uses his Lego arm to easily open the school door.



Aguilar said he first built a prosthetic arm out of Lego blocks when he was 9 years old. He built a boat for his right arm, which he later modified to function as an arm.



However, the arm he made at the time was not strong enough to function as a real arm, so he decided to make a new one.



The 'Mark 1' was apparently completed after much ingenuity.



'These arms are strong enough to withstand push-ups.'



'When I finished this, I went in front of the mirror and did some muscle poses,' he said.



According to Aguilar, the arm took just five days to complete from conception to completion, and he immediately decided to move forward with the upgrade.



And so the Mark 2 was born.



'The arm contains a motor and battery that acts as a biceps muscle.'



'The motor and the tip of the arm are connected by fishing line...'




'If I wear this on my shoulder and operate it, I can bend my arm freely.'




'When I first brought this arm to school, people were amazed and asked, 'How did you make it?!''



'I'm just a normal guy, but when I told people I made my own arm, they all responded with, 'You're amazing!' or 'You're so smart!''



Aguilar concluded by saying, 'My friends have told me they're so proud to have me as a friend, and I'm so happy about that.' It seems the Lego prosthetic arm has also helped him build relationships.
