Digitigrade Werewolf Stilts

Similar to but different version of other werewolf stilts you've seen on YouTube. I added padded PVC leg support, beefed up hardware, and other comfort and/or strengthening components, seeing as I am about 200lbs.

i watched hers i watched yours and about 50 of them im not sure my man i just got lost and it pissed me off i wanted it done quickly but it didnt work so im still being a wolf i just dont have stilts :[

@wolfcookieo9 bummer dude. i got mine done (the fabrication aspects, not the furring) in about 2 hours....but I'm really mechanically inclined (and an amateur woodworker, of sorts). The crafty aspects of the project (applying the foam and fur) is what pissed me off.

[wolfcookieo9]

yea my man just all of it the parts the steps where you get the parts

[JSDavis82]

@wolfcookieo9 Maybe i'll do the next pair by the end of the year. Where did you get lost? Did you watch @gryphern's original videos? I based my design on theirs, but made the modifications I explained in this video.

[wolfcookieo9]

well its ok thanks for replying but i ended up throwing it all out it made me angry the peices werent going together i needed someone to tell me how to do it step by step but owell

@wolfcookieo9 Bummer. Would it be helpful if i made a step by step video? i was thinking of making another pair anyway. what part was getting you the most hung up?

[danclickspfx]

watched a few--gonna try your design--looks pretty simple--

@wolfcookieo9 Hey wolf, sorry i'm just seeing this. They're just rails I found at Home Depot. They were by all of the garage door hardware, and other steel tubing/rails/angle pieces.

hope that helps...in time for Halloween especially.

@crazykyle401 the toe piece under the ball of my foot in the shoe is about 5'' up from the toe plate....if that's what your'e asking. And as for the position of the shoe, YES, it really matters. I didn't think it would either and tried to mount them higher up on the structure and found it VERY difficult to not fall backwards.

That means that Gryphern's original design is correct....you must place the balance point no further than mid shoe.

how many inches from the bottom of the toe do u have? and does it rlly matter where u put the shoes?
