If I had a fake leg I'd be making weird shit for it like this all day. Add some hidden knives, stash pockets, stun toes, some brass gears for Steampunk charm, etc.
I don't know much about wood, but I have a vague feeling the mounting point going parallel to the grain isn't great, and there seems to be precious little material for load bearing around the top mounting point for the shock absorber
Lathe <$500 Band saw <$300 Drill <$100 Chisels and bits <$100 Now he might have much better tools than that, but you could reproduce what he did for about $1k in tools. Given that a leg costs a lot more than that, I'd say it's a steal.

It wooden cost that much. About tree fitty.
YippeeKayakOB
Based om how he uses those machine I want to know how that leg was lost in the first place
Huor
I don’t understand why he didn’t mount a minigun to that leg
Userlivewire
No safety glasses, no gloves, I can see some ways this guy might have lost a leg.
JustANerdInTheWorld
Forced to do this because prosthetics cost an arm and a leg.
historycat
How can I tell he's American?
Oh. Because this is easier and cheaper than the wealthy paying taxes, or health care being a right.
Zanzetuken
First attempt of doing this didn't go so well, glad to see he figured it out by the second go round /s
noneedtodoxme
Funny. Lol
mm2k
Who else was disappointed when he didn’t leave the bark on?

Step 1: Slip while using chain saw
Step 2: How to make two legs

Almost looked like he was going to lose a hand with the miter saw as well

FFS wear eye protection or you'll be carving an eye next.

Noice!

His treatment of the saw makes me wonder how he ended up needing a prothesis to begin with...
Neednoggle
Commercial prosthetics don't have a leg to stand on for this guy.
fartharder
He just put the shock absorber bolt on the weakest part 😖
Dannyalcatraz
Safety goggles nowhere to be seen.🤦🏾♂️

There's a few OSHA things here but using a wood lathe while balancing on one leg...
spittleteets
Yeah, but it's gonna be a bitch to find parts /s
NotThePoint
Nah, it's gonna be a birch to find parts. ;)

tinytyrant
i mean.. awesome... but the way he nonchalantly swings that chainsaw at the start suggests how he lost the right leg in the first place.

It was cancer, actually. His stuff pops up on the Internet occasionally and I've looked into it before.
LicensedAdHominem
Give him time
bbueller

Prosthetics manufacturers stumped by this one simple trick

I sew what you did there.

You really went out on a limb with this pun

Prosthetics really do cost an arm and a leg.

I don't wanna sound pro insurance but step one have thousands of dollars worth of woodshop equipment lying around and the skill to use them
Capn2018JL
All you need is 10-15 thousand dollars in tools and you too can save money!
KentKnifen
Fortunately those tools are not single-use, and can be rented if you plan to only use them once.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Dude, ask a friend to borrow some tools, or put a post on your neighborhood Facebook page and there will be like 50 old guys with tools ready to help.
Alavar
I was just thinking lmao. Dude has an entire shop.

I'm curious how much it costs in other countries.
