"On behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to talk about stilt walking. My name is Paul Anderson from the ABC circus and here we are. Well, here's the circus stilt with the foot plate attached with one screw and 2 screws to attach the support plate. Now, I'm going to attach the foot plate to the support plate. 2 screws straight down to hold that on. Now, I'll use the 2 smaller bits to resupport that foot plate just like that. Here's putting the small bits onto the stilt. These support the front and the back of the foot plate as to get the secure attachment to the 2x2. Two screws in each of the lower level. One into the 2x2 support and one into the 2x4 foot plate. "
