| | | (...) Andy: That's an interesting site. I can't think of a way to make curved feet, BUT there is the 1x6 sloped beam. as seen here: (URL) was thinking that if you used two of these with the "studs" pointing down, you might be able to replicate that (...)

| | | | After viewing the walder movie, I wonder if it would work with flat feet, and an ankle joint? Gravity would keep the flat foot pointed down when the leg was lifted. - pete.
