00:00This man came up with what felt like a million-dollar idea.
00:03After losing his leg to stage 3 bone cancer, he discovered a painful truth.
00:07A prosthetic leg costs more than $20,000.
00:10For most people, that price means no second chance at walking.
00:14But instead of giving up, he asked himself a simple question.
00:17What if I could build my own?
00:19He used his woodworking skills to turn a solid piece of wood into a leg.
00:23With patience and precision, he carved the shape and smoothed every edge.
00:27Then he shifted his focus to crafting the wooden foot, which required far more care.
00:32He carefully adjusted the size and angle so it could balance his body weight.
00:36He sanded every surface and rounded the edges with meticulous attention.
00:40The foot had to be as close as possible to the real thing,
00:43because even the smallest mistake could affect how he walked.
00:46Finally, to bring comfort and flexibility, he added a bicycle shock absorber,
00:52a clever touch that absorbed impact and mimicked the natural movement of a real leg.
00:56The cost? Less than $100.
00:58He didn't just walk again.
00:59He showed that solving real problems with creativity can change lives.
01:02And that's what makes it a million-dollar idea.
