New hand clutch

More an exercise in surface machining than anything else, but we have to make a new one anyways.  Save a little bit of weight too - 100g vs 140g for the old one.  Not a whole lot, but every bit counts, especially when the weight savings is essentially free.

Some pictures of the machining process and the result of some of the 3D toolpaths after the jump.
