Well done! If I tried using them, you would have to make me some crutches too…

Well done I made a set for my self when I was in the teen years I lived at a lake at the time and I had a good walk down hill to the lake on my stilts . I even was crazy enough to walk in the water with them . I was 3 ’ up in the air on them and always had to get up on something to get on them. Any way the grand kids should love them.

Those non slip pads are a cool idea. Was that part of the plan or did you come up with that?

Many years ago; I made a pair with two steps each. The lower step on one side and the higher step on the other side. I got good enough that I could get on the lower pair of steps and then quickly remove one foot, spin one so the higher step was inside and allow me to step up then repeat the process on the other side. Skinned knees are part of the learning curve. Lots of fun. Your are real pretty; mine were pretty crude.

Looking good. They’ve come a long way since we nailed a block on the side of a couple of 2×4’s.

The non slip pads were an after thought and not in the original plans…........
