To help ith balance on stairs and ramps, give the foot base a slight curve so your step rolls from 'heel' to 'toe'. it only takes a small curve, and negates the need to balance on a corner. An added benefit is it makes walking more natural as you can roll your step instead of having to lift and plant.
By the way, amazing tutorial video. Out of numerous videos i have seen on digitigrade tutorial videos, yours is the sturdiest one of them all. Fantastic job I must say.
I suggest that since your sort of experimentations try the same way on padding as what is done with the Lenox Hill derotation knee brace. This way there is less irritation to the wearer of your digi stilts. Although using springs might be a touch better or even using bungee cords on your stilts!
Would there be any way to add suspension or spring motion to these? Deer move in a springy, bouncy way, and I was hoping to be able to replicate that, both because I find it asthetically pleasing and because it looks like so much fun.
could you make a tutorial on how you made it? if you could list the materials too i've been looking for digitigrade stilts for a few days on a costume i want to make and these are the stilts that matched exactly what im looking for but cause you dont have a tutorial i cant use it.
Thank you I need this for my fursuit because im making my tallest fursuit yet. it's going to be my tallest fursuit yet because the species I chose is extremely tall ✨💖💗💞
suplex11 the higher the degree is the less likely you can balance. Plus that is a very comfortable angle that make it easer to walk on stilts then just normal walking
My usual rate is $200 per pair, plus you pay for shipping. I shipped a pair all the way to Erie, Pennsylvania from Costa Mesa, California, and it was $59.29 for Standard Post. If you are in California, I have to add $16 sales tax, but the post office should charge less. However, I just started a new day job, and I have to put all I've got into it for the next few weeks, so I can't possibly get a pair built and shipped out in October or November 2016. Hopefully by December/January I will be able to keep the day job and the night job at the same time. Know what I mean?
+Eureka Confounding I do actually, I'm working two jobs at the moment while working on opening an etsy shop. Also, I'm in no rush as itd be for the spring anyways and I have a set of wooden clunkers atm. I'm in New England by the way so it would probably be similar shipping. It'll prob come down to finances after Christmas Do you have an order form or should I just check in later down the road?
Actually a good point. They used to use practical effects and costumes a lot, today they look ridiculous, but if they did it with today's technology, we'd have very believable costumes for sure.
perry mackay I can do that. I'm getting my small business license on July 13th and starting to turn this into a real home business instead of just a hobby. I can make you a set for $100. Send me an email (chipmalinowski at gmail.com) with your approximate height and weight. Or just blab it to everybody with a reply to this message. I'm 5'10", 190#, and I build everything with at least a safety factor of 2.0 for my weight. (And I hope you had a great 4th of July.)
+Eureka Confounding I'm really interested in purchasing a pair, too! I live in Germany and would take all the shipping costs of course! Are you still making these? I would need them for a quite special costume, which will be worn on different terrains such as grass, gravel, sand and asphalt. Is it possible to walk over those terrains with them? I will have to wear them for at least one up to three hours, how comfortable are they? Sorry for my English and I'm really looking forward to hear from you!
+Metalneverwilldie18 Yes, I'd love to make one for you. I am working on a few pairs of stilts for different people right now. It does take a lot of practice to build the muscles in your legs for any pair of stilts if you want to wear them for 3 hours. Send me your approximate height and weight, please.
Eureka Confounding Thank you so much! Since I'm at a convention this weekend, I would send you the mail (guess it's still the email adress in your previous comment?) on monday noon/afternoon (depends on when I get home). But thank you so much! There's no hurry in finishing my stilts, it would be nice if they are ready in January or February next year so I can train :) You will of course get all the credits when I finished the costume :) See you!

If you could make a tutorial video on how you made it and a list of components you used to make it it would help greatly
Werewolf By Blood he probably won't. If a person can make a buck, they will.
Ya your right
aaaa noooo a fucking furry
@@MarkoGh u know that this video is pretty much targeted for furries right?
@@akira699 doesnt matter its still a plague and they should die

Fantastic job I must say.
Please make a build video for these, would really help a lot.
This is an amazing tutorial. You've sparked my interest to try and make a better pair of stilts, and I'm stealing some of your design! Cheers!

I was thinking of using fiberglass rods and composite golf clubs from the thrift store rather than steel. I was trying to go completely non metallic

MayliSong I know this comment is like 2 years old but I’d suggest exchanging the cord for a strong thick spring that’s naturally stretched out
Future megatron in the making
a how to would be amazing!!!
It's been 11 years. How well have these held up?
could you make a tutorial on how you made it? if you could list the materials too i've been looking for digitigrade stilts for a few days on a costume i want to make and these are the stilts that matched exactly what im looking for but cause you dont have a tutorial i cant use it.
I was wondering if you remember how much it costed to make this.
Thank you I need this for my fursuit because im making my tallest fursuit yet. it's going to be my tallest fursuit yet because the species I chose is extremely tall ✨💖💗💞
Eureka where? California? I'm there!!
can I get a list of materials
how tall does it make your hieght
Hi^^
how much weight can support?
Where can I buy them
You are genious
thanks your video was a big help for me
How tall are you and how tall are you in them?
ive seen a few of these now but i havent found one that is over 45 degrees from the ground any reason y that is?
suplex11 the higher the degree is the less likely you can balance. Plus that is a very comfortable angle that make it easer to walk on stilts then just normal walking
Hi, are you still taking commissions for stilts? and if so what would you be charging?

Could you make these with skis?
Nightmare fuel
Во имя Мира и Добра 🙌
Would you be willing to make these to sell to someone?
can you pass me the measurements
Instead of cosplay i wish they used these for practical effects in movies and more elaborate costumes rather than having to rely on cgi
Actually a good point. They used to use practical effects and costumes a lot, today they look ridiculous, but if they did it with today's technology, we'd have very believable costumes for sure.
Peter Jackson used these in Lord of the Rings. He's a master of practical effects.
how the fuck did i get here
Hm.. looks a bit painful
I really need you to make some 4 me I'll pay you as much as i can around $10-$125
