Sore feet, and strangely enough there are not many people that like rubbing feet.

Materials:

river rocks (about 2" - 4")

2x4s

glue

screws

tools:

table saw

wood clamps

drill with philips tip

glue and clamp 2x4 borders

at first I thought I would have to use two levels of 2x4, but 1 level turned out to be high enough

screw border in place and put rocks in

use in socks or bare feet (I use socks)

my feet used to hurt regularly, but now they don't, its been 3 weeks since I started using this and it works great so far

I turn in a circle when using it
