Nice! I have fiddled with building robot fingers from the same sort of tubing. I was using dental floss instead of fishing line, which also works fairly well. The hardest part is attaching correctly-tensioned strings. I can't see in the video, but how are you anchoring the strings, and do you have any kind of adjustment capability?
@ejfh2000 I just drilled a hole in the bottom on each finger. Slide the fishing line through the hole and hot glued it. Very simple. If I need to adjust I remove the glue and change the tension of the line then re-glue. It's time consuming but that's all I've got so far. Good luck with your project!
