How to connect bones to other bones

[[Ηc] Blackburn]

i have 2 models which i have rigged up and i want to put them together, i made the body separate to the hands and i want to put them together, but how?

short story: select a bone, click the bone tab in the right side panel, then set its parent to a relevant bone and check the box "connected".

found a longer description/discussion (with pictures) here:

edit: also, you probably need to join the armatures together first.

edit2: if you need to add extra bones to make it work, you can do that by selecting two unconnected bones and pressing F (like you would with verts etc) to fill the space between with a new bone. it wont be connected though so as far as i can tell you will have to use the above procedure to join them.

Idk since when, but in Blender 2.76b there is no more the "connect" option when you press CTRL+P (Set Parent). Anyone knows how to make the magic work?

Edit: the "connect" option appears in EDIT mode. However(!), the bones still don't want to connect to each other :S

So for example, you want the arm bone to connect to the upper spine bone - Select the arm bone first. Then shift-select the spine bone last. Then cntr-p and select connected. Make sure it's tailside to headside. So in this case the arm bone should have it's head facing the spine bone.
