I'm sending this to my neighbour who's just had his lower leg amputated, and is a handyman (minus a foot)

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.

He just put the shock absorber bolt on the weakest part 😖

There's a few OSHA things here but using a wood lathe while balancing on one leg...

Forced to do this because prosthetics cost an arm and a leg.

That's how he got the wooden leg in the first place

Fucking around with power tools is probably how he lost the leg in the first place.

Based om how he uses those machine I want to know how that leg was lost in the first place

DIY is almost never free. He saved SOME money

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

His treatment of the saw makes me wonder how he ended up needing a prothesis to begin with...

Yeah, but it's gonna be a bitch to find parts /s

Nah, it's gonna be a birch to find parts. ;)

No safety glasses, no gloves, I can see some ways this guy might have lost a leg.

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.

All you need is 10-15 thousand dollars in tools and you too can save money!

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.

Fortunately those tools are not single-use, and can be rented if you plan to only use them once.

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 only costs that much in america

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

According to the German philosopher Till Lindemann, we're all living in America.

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.
