I have my wrist brace on now, but on reflection, if I hadn't had it today, I could have created a reasonable facsimile with my fleece "wristies," a spoon, plastic knives, and tape.
What I'm doing "right now" is looking at the Shapeways "3D Printing" service (
http://www.shapeways.com), and thinking about how I could use it to make interesting game parts.
