I built myself a pair of tengu geta this weekend using some wood I found in a dumpster and a pair of old shoelaces. Do any of you have recommendations for better thong material or ways to improve longevity? How long can I expect these to last? If you have questions of me, I would be happy to answer those as well.

If you have been working on any projects recently, feel free to talk about those as well. I am interested to hear what you have been working on!

>> No.10501203

Why not turn the stilts so that they run along the length of the shoe. You're probably going to break your ankles.

It's dangerous because there's no support. You're entirely at the mercy of your own balance, which is all fine and good until you happen to make a slight misstep and end up with a foot the looks like a golf club.

If the stilts went the other way you still have the same issue, depending on the width of the stilt. I still think you should make proper geta.
