Hi:

Got a few questions about making wood crutches.

1. Has anyone ever made a pair of wood crutches?

2. Are they hard to make?

3. The pair that I have always used, is made of laminated wood strips. Do they have to be laminated for strength?

4. The biggest problem that I have always had with the store bought ones, is that over time, say no more than a year, the dowel that holds the top of the crutch in place, breaks off. Is there a better way to attach the top of the crutch instead of using a wood dowel?

Thanks,
