Build your own steampunk chicken-walker mech

Step 5(Fake) foot supports

(Fake) foot supports
I wanted the foot supports (for my fake legs) to stick out like a recliner chair so the mech feet wouldn't kick the boots. Along the front cross pipe I drilled four holes and inserted dowels. At the bottom of the dowels I attached another four dowels, spaced such that the false-leg boots fit
snugly between dowels 1 & 2 and dowels 3 & 4. To get the correct angle I pushed the top dowels such that they stuck out the other side of the PVC pipe, and then tied down another dowel such that it lay across the exposed ends. That way I could just remove the top dowel and fold the whole foot-support rack under the main frame for easy transport.
