Yes I've seen the original "Spirit Walker" what a great creation and so many have been inspired to create their own. Yes you could create stilts for that. It looks like most of them are 2' high and that will depend on your arm stilt height. Check out other videos on the channel that show the combination of arm/leg stilts. Good luck!

hi. sorry to bump an old video, I was wondering what the weight limit might be on stilts made following this tutorial. Additionally, where would you reinforce and with what process to increase the weight limit? thanks so much
@StiltFactory3 жыл бұрын
Mitri, the short answer is it depends. Because it's wood and all grains and species have a different kind of strength. I make no guarantees for safety. Eventually wood breaks, but I've found that increasing the dimensions help such as 2x2 (1-1/2"x 1-1/2") could be increased to 2x3 or a fraction thereof. Always check your stilts before you go out, if you hear squeaking or feel somethings not right, then come down. If you want some more help/advice hit me up [email protected]

i found that the pvc pipe was digging uncomfortably into my shins, so i just removed it entirely and wrapped a small towel around my legs for a bit of padding under the knee and secure it to my legs with two thick velcro straps wrapped tightly which are bolted to the wood on the side. after i did that they work great now and are not uncomfortable and i was able to get up on them and after only and hour and a half or so of practice i can now walk around without even needing a walking stick for support
@StiltFactory3 жыл бұрын
I love hearing this. By all means it's about comfort and adapting this basic design. There's so many variables to comfort compounded by all the different bodies! Also just a 1/4" movement of the shoe can result in good changes. Thanks for posting. Happy Stilting :)

This works? My biggest complaint with my first pair was the plastic flower pots my friend's dad used as leg support. I used to have to shove a washcloth behind my calf. And I was worried about the PVC for the new set I'm building myself because I don't have a heat gun. I might just omit it all together thanks for the food for thought 🤔
@nobody20213 жыл бұрын
@@hanananah it does work, however you still need to make some way of securing your calves to the top of the stilts. I changed that method from the hard PVC pipes to soft cloth straps and Velcro.
