Help me design my robotic arm

So i'm using indirect access with a stepper motor for a robotic arm and am wondering if there is a more simple way to do this not to have to weld the bicycle gear to the bicep of the arm and not to use a bicycle gear. Could someone help me better design this, im using an arduino uno as the board for this project. (I have a picture though im not sure how to show it on here.)

Interesting project but we are not a free design or code writing service. We will be happy help out with your design and or code but first you have to make an attempt to design it, write it, post it and explain what is not working properly. Read the following:
Useful links - check here for reference posts / tutorials Frizzing diagrams are not considered schematics here.

If there is hardware it is always best to post links to technical information as there are many versions of the same or different items. Since we cannot see your project, my eyes are to weak, you need to post using the language of electronics, an annotated schematic, (best) or a clear picture of a drawing. Pictures never hurt. Frizzing diagrams are not considered schematics here, they are wiring diagrams, great for assembly lousy for troubleshooting.

This should get you started. As far as welding how big is this arm?

Yes. Show your idea in a technical drawing.

How do I post pictures.
