Some areas of my shop are poorly lit and when I'm working there I find myself having to either relocate or jury rig up some sort of lighting solution so that I can see what I'm doing. Well enough is enough! I designed a gantry and articulating arm system that allows me to position a work light in just about any position to completely do away with any dimly lit areas of my shop. Furthermore, I designed it in a way where it can be hoisted up and out of the way when not in use. Another nice feature is that it can also hold my cameras to get me more interesting angles that my ordinary tripod just can't do. So what are you waiting for? Check out the video and then pick up the plans to build one for your own workshop!
Outstanding. That's gotta be one of your brightest ideas yet...
ding, ding,, we have a winner!
lol
Oh well done good sir... well done indeed.
Its the lighter side of woodworking
@@mj-lp5eb Your puns really *brighten* my day.
*Ba-dum, tss*
Drew, You have a wonderful self deprecating sense of humor. My wife and I love these TH-cam videos, especially your outtakes. I have always been curious about your garage. I think to myself how nice and informative it would be for you to build a vertical plywood type saw like they have at the big box stores. You could place it in the garage, cut lumber stock down making it easier to get into you basement shop. I'm sure your neighbor ( love that reference) has all the lumber you'd need. Just a thought. Thank you for your skills and humor. Your one of the few channels that inform, entertain and challenge us to be better Carpenters and don't add alot of useless chatter and music god only who likes. Thanks Drew.
"... to hopefully minimize the damage when I inevitably walk into it later." I felt this in my soul.
The outtakes remind me a lot of when I’m working in my woodshop except that I don’t have the nice tools or the good lighting or the hair. On second thought it’s nothing like me working in my shop.
Dude this is the smartest thing i‘ve ever seen in a shop... 😂😂🤩
The camera dolly function is a major plus.
I felt every second of that wrenches outtake right in my soul.
Lol! The wrenches at the end, we've all been there brother.
This is why I'm partial to crescent wrenches.
That was one of the coolest shop upgrades I have seen!
Thanks! :)
This is a great idea. Using it with the camera was a great idea as well.
Your humour is spot on just as your projects 👍 🤣
How are you not starring on every woodshop tv show as a host ? You have the skills and especially the voice !
“Flight of the Navigator” anyone? Nice work! Now just but the gantry on two parallel gantries and you’ll be UNSTOPPABLE!
Love your little princess hands! This is really cool Drew!
Haha, thanks Zach!
You should seriously have your own show on TV Sunday mornings.
Very cool build drew. Your way smarter than you look. I especially like the way you supported the beam without the help of your three legged coffee table possessing neighbor.
Another winner, Drew. Thanks for the laughs. Even though you tied it up BEWARE things have a way of "attacking" when you least expect it.
Thanks, Steve!
Congratulations, not only refreshingly honest and funny, very informative
Thanks, Janice!
Fantastic. And you are hysterical!
I wanna make one for over my fabrication table, something to hold, drill, screws, glue bottle and stuff like that during assembly time!! Good stuff Drew!!
Thanks. Glad it was helpful
Such a great video. I can only imagine how must time you invest in designing, building, filming, and editing these high quality productions for us. I really appreciate all the time you take Drew.
-Nick 😃👍
Thanks Nick! It's comments like this that keep me going!
One of the best DIY woodworkers on the YT. It`s a shame he has only 184k subs. Greetings from Serbia.
High quality, clean and entertaining. Appreciate your videos
Thanks, Robert!
I like the lighting idea and your sense of humor, Great video of step by step assembly.
Great addition to your shop . . . Mine too! Love the humor mixed in with actual information pertinent to what you’re doing.
Just noticed that you are a LEFTY!
Keep producing these top quality videos and I’ll do my part by watching them. Sounds like a Win / Win situation to me.
Now I must head over to your website and make a few purchases.
Dorald
Dude!!! You forgot to add a cupholder!!!
Great build!
Cool idea, keep up the good work. Love the humor and the outtakes at the end.
Thanks!
Hello, from Chihuahua Mexico, is the first time I have the opportunity to see your videos and you are funny and amazing, keep up with the good work and you have one more subscriber, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Muchas gracias!
Gracias.
Oh you do bring some light in to my life Drew. Thank you 😊
Any time!
Outstanding video. Love the bloopers. Really appreciate your talent and humor. Kudos!
Thanks so much!
Looks like an awesome edition to the shop.
I wanna come up with something clever to say but I haven’t been watching long enough. Binge watching doesn’t always help but I’ll be here whenever you need me. Always watching. 👍
Thanks for watching! :)
COOL. A NEW VIDE... oh...
I haven't commented on a video in the 10 years I've been on TH-cam, but this deserves an applause 👏 👏 👏 . What an absolutely genius idea! I'm planning this as my project of the day, thanks for the idea! Keep up the great work!
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it!
You need your own tv show !
Just gotta say I came across your Channel and I absolutely love your humour were cut from the same cloth. Hilarious comments in all these videos I’m watching useful information also.
Welcome aboard!
“Small princess hands” HILARIOUS!
I made a similar thing without the trolley, but out of steel. I love the idea of using stationary casters for your trolley, brilliant!
Thanks, Josh!
congrats on 200K subs! You have come a long way, Drew. You should do a 200K special.
Thanks!!
Fabulous video Drew as always! Same problem here, the wrench you need is always on vacation while you stay home and work! Thanks for sharing :)
Haha, thanks Regina!
What a fine idea and make a nice camera arm as well... off to the workshop!
Great video again Drew! I must say though, the commentary is the best. Thanks for injecting the great humor in all of your videos, and thanks for sharing. Felix
You're very welcome, Felix! Thanks for watching
Drew, you should come visit. You'd feel right at home here. Carrying wood into your basement looks like it is just as hard as it is for my shop. I had to move the fridge once when trying to bring in something particularly large.
Nice gantry, and I'm jealous of how high your basement ceilings are.
Thanks, Art! Can't believe I only dinged the wall once when bringing down those 12-footers. :)
@@FishersShop Can only imagine what it's like when you try to bring in some plywood sheets...
The last outtake pretty much sums up my experience with every open-end wrench I’ve held...
I have to make a 30 to 4p second treck each time. Sucks.
Well done Drew!!!!
Thanks, Andy!
You have earned a new subscriber. I have watched every video. I appreciate your projects, videos, commentary. Instructions, and sense of humor. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks! And welcome
Love the bloopers. Very nice work. First time I have ever seen anyone do that for a light.
What a great Idea Drew!! You'll get a lot of use out of it I'm sure..... 👍👍
Thanks, Mike! Yeah this oughta help quite a bit. Now I just gotta upgrade my lights with LEDs.
Enjoyed the video. Great work light. Enjoyed the bloopers too. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
Thanks, Ron. You too!
Hi Drew,
Thanks for the laughs and the inspiration!
You sure earned the thumbs up!
/Lars
Thanks Lars
What a great idea that appears to have many potential uses. I think I might try an adaption of the arm to hold a crown guard over the table saw. Thanks for posting.
Good idea
I don't know why you don't have more subscribers? This channel is woodworking gold.
Thanks, Mike! Spread the word. :)
You are a genius. I have to steal this idea. Thank you for sharing.
You got it!
Fascinating. Well done.
Nice job fella!
Love the out-takes 😆😆😆
This was a lot of fun.
Great build, Drew. You struck a nerve with me when you mentioned looking for the tool you just had in your hand.
I have watched many of your videos and you are my new radio
Brilliant!! I've got a lower shop ceiling (in a 140-year-old house!) which makes stationary lighting a bit tougher, but a minor mod or two, and that gets fixed with one or two of these little gems!! Thanks for a great idea...and design! :-)
Yup! Easily changeable for lower ceilings.
Missed seeing your little buddy come to help you.
Another great video Drew. They get better every time!
Thanks, Kevin!
Very nice! That would be VERY handy in my shop! Thanks for the idea!
You're very welcome
Cool and fun. Thanks for sharing your work!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Not gonna lie, I knew going into this video this project has a zero percent chance of me doing in my shop, I typically come here just for the entertainment. Keep up the videos.
You and about 75% of my audience. :)
I was just thinking about something like that for extra light. Thanks for doing all the work!!!
You're welcome. :)
Excellent idea and I love the outtakes hahaha
Very cool. Great Idea. Well implemented.
And ... thanks for the out-takes! :)
Thanks for adding the outtakes. It made me feel better.
Brilliant! Kind regards from Scotland.
Glad you liked it!
Side benefit: Artificial sunshine to help in the middle of depressing grey Michigan winters.
i love your videos man. you are a genius. and the outtakes at the end....makes me feel so much better
Glad you like them!
Awesome project . Love it.
Thanks!
"200lb bucket of lard test" LOL
Love watching your videos - easy to follow and always entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice indeed. Thanks for great videos.
You should name it Wicket, as it hangs around the shop and lights up your life!
That's an awesome set-up!
Good project Well presented. I appreciate the brisk pace you achieved via editing. Bravo.
very beautiful!
This idea is so great! My favorite part might be the way you made the walnut knob
Thanks!
Fisher's Shop this would also be a great solution to getting close up shots above my table saw. Or just getting weird angled shots in general.
I LOVE the box shaped nut!!
Thanks. Got it from Grandpa's old hardware bins.
This is simply awsome! I am planing in building my own shop in my garage. And this is going in there for sure! Love it!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
love the stop motion!!
Love your videos. I bought your plans for the flip cart , it works perfectly and it gave me back some real estate in my shop. Thank you.
Thanks Rich! Glad it turned out good for ya
Another awesome video! Great job! That is a super functional addition to the shop for sure!
Yeah it's been great! Thanks, Tim!
That's a pretty cool idea!
You are just like a farmer! Always outstanding in your field! Great job! Have a better day!
That's a quality Dad joke right there. :)
Love your presentation in your videos. You are very funny and entertaining. Content is great. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more. Thx for sharing,
Awesome design
brilliant. by both definitions.
Hah, thanks, Ernest!
What a great idea. Nice work....again.
Thanks 😊
Cool thinking!
Thanks!
🤔 nice and useful light source.👍
Such a cool idea! Looks good too!
Thanks, Keith
Amazing job man! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
I can't decide which I like more; your creativity or your sense of humor! Keep up the great work. I absolutely love your videos!!
Thanks, Paul! :)
Really cool. I hope you use it a lot.
that stop motion was sick, had to watch it a few times
Great Work!!
I really enjoy watching your videos for many reasons really.
You seem to have a great grip on the editing process and making them short but extremely informative.
You have a fun and entertaining sense of humor. and you come up with some very interesting and off the wall ideas that could also be very useful!
I think I am going to add this to my looong list of projects I would like to do.
Just wanted to let you know that I think you're doing an excellent job and to keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your talents.
Well thanks!
@@FishersShop Not a problem!
I do a lot of projects and end up with a lot of fun creations but don't ever record any of my work and would like to start getting into it a bit.
Are there any cameras or anything that you would recommend on the filming/editing side of things?
@@barrettbryan8905 I'm afraid not because I'm actually behind the curve on that front as well. I'm now using a DSLR camera to record and Sony Vegas to edit. However, I can see myself upgrading my camera to one that has more options and also switching to Adobe Premier. But if it helps, you don't need much to start out. I actually started using my phone to record and Windows Movie Maker to edit.
@@FishersShop Well thank you for letting me know. I'm thinking I'll attempt to look into some different options just for getting started a bit and see how it goes.
I have recorded a few projects on my Iphone and to the point of where my "memory is full" lol. Which is part of the reason why I am interested in looking for something a bit more capable. I guess I just want to make sure something I am going to put on here will be decent enough for someone to want to watch lol.
Cool way to make the knob!
So happy to see you make this without the CNC table. Gives me hope that I could make something similar... 🤣🤣
You could, might not be cheap though.
@@charadremur333 Just depends on what type of materials and tools you have available to you
