Roof Mount Camera Rig for filming project video's

Fed up with doing the tango with my tripod every time I move in my tiny workshop I built a ceiling mounted camera rig which will allow me to shoot from any angle without taking up floor space. 

The articulating arm was designed on the same principle as the arm of a mechanical digger which can move to any position within the diameter of its reach. So to can the arm of the rig. Not only does it make filming easier but the equipment is much safer as I no longer have to clamp the camera to the side of the bandsaw or pillar drill in order to get some difficult shots.

Penguin Glasses Holder

This episode sees Stephen create a handy solution to the problem of him continually breaking his glasses.  When he eventually manages to get to his workshop Stephen resolves the problem on the wood lathe. The style of the penguin was based on Feathers McGraw, the villain from Wallace and Gromit 'A Close Shave' as his features were well suited for the purpose of the project.

This is my way of saying thank you to all the viewers, subscribers and members of the You Tube community that have supported and inspired me. There are so many of you and some have agreed to play an indirect 'cameo' role (thank you so much). More are mentioned in the closing credits but I would still like to say thank you to the greater number out there who regularly publish and post instructive and informative video's to tease and delight all of us woodworking and woodturning nerds. You know who you are!

Sit back and enjoy the video. Do please feel free to comment, like, dislike, subscribe and please do share with your friends.

This twelve minute video took eight days to shoot and edit but I have enjoyed every minute. I hope you do too!
