Arm stilts. Engaged.

tall shadow walking

Took a break from the electronics today to turn the wooden crutches I found at the second hand store into arm stilts. Kinda nice to see that piece come together and be able to walk around on all four limbs three feet off of the ground.

The construction is super simple. I literally just unbolted the bottom of the wooden stilts and bolted in a five foot 2" x 2" with some homemade rubber feet on them. Spent about 30 minutes cruising around the park to check it all out. Overall I'm psyched. But, I'm definitely gonna have to put in some practice time as the arm stilts are fairly heavy and it's definitely a chore to keep them lifted most of the time. Will have to re-think whether or not wood's the right material for this.
