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!

  • 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.

  • Drew, You have a wonderful self deprecating sense of humor. My wife and I love these KZhead 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.
