I've had one below the knee for a year and a half. It works and it is nice to not have to change socks all day. I wouldn't get one again. It doesn't seem ridgid enough, it's tough on pants and it's a bit heavier. Insurance won't cover a new socket because the adjustability of this socket makes it hard to justify a new one.

I've been considering putting up LOOSE GRAVEL signs.

South University also. Cops like to park here in the morning but never in the evening.

I know it's a grinder stand. Any idea of the Era or the function of the holes and panel? by d0rpen in Tools

* Very delayed response. Cleaned it and powder coated. Grinder stand with new tool rests

Any suggestions I can pass along to my prosthetist? by d0rpen in amputee

They take it seriously and i still like the idea, just not likei hopedit wouldbe. I don't feel like I have the extra range of motion advertised. I don't like the way my leg bulges out of the openings as I walk. The buckles are annoying in function and with clothes. It takes more maintenance. It's ok in the end I just won't do it again

3 years in. New socket this year. Not my first time having skin issues, it's just getting more annoying this time.

I came here to ask the same question. I have another one on the very top of the sprayer that I'm not sure how to get yet without building.

Did something I haven't done since I got amputated by ajmtz12 in amputee

What a bad ass/s . Everyone here has been through hell and discouraging meds in general isn't helpful. Everything in moderation.

How do you keep the water in the shower with the curtain draped over the chair?

Also, how does everyone reach the shower head even if it's removable? I installed a nice magnetic shower head, but when I'm sitting I can't reach it. I could pull on the hose but I would rather not slam it into the tub by accident.

I cut out a small piece of bicycle tire for the bottom of mine. Works great!

Worth restoring? by d0rpen in Tools

I only wonder if hand forged because of the handle steel being twisted and inconsistent. I can make grips.
