    Hey Vic, now that your camera is "up over", everything it records will be "down under"! Nice job. Come on 50,000 plus subs, you channel is well worth it.

    Hi Vic, I certainly hope you get your 50,000 you deserve them . you represent the Australians who are laid back and cool, for me, so typically Australian . The Makers world needs to see you and what you do and taste our Australian flavour. Well Done

    So you could mount 2 boom arms grab a 2nd camera and in a lot of cases have a reverse angle of everything you do without having to film a 2nd sequence. Very flexible setup dude. Love it.

      There are channels I view quite often but am not subscribed to because I don't want to watch everything they have to offer.
      I don't look for them, but if they pop up in my suggestions and it's something I'm interested in then I'll watch it.

    I would like to subscribe more than one time, but I cant it seems! Also, an active, returning but not subscribed viewer is much more valuable than an inactive (dead) subscriber, so bear that in mind. Also, this video is great but it kinda destroyed my entry into the woodjigs challenge, as I was about to make a long camera-jig-thing, but I'll guess I'll have to make it unique and use it anyway ;-) Nice video mate!

    Why did you do it?? Because you can. It's great to have a challenge and get a great result. Have you thought about putting a moment lock on it so that it does not 'Roll' while you are filming.

      @DownUnderWoodWorks  4 года назад

      Exactly mate. It actually doesn't need a stop because its all level so it doesn't roll on its own

    @robt2151 4 года назад

    I enjoy both your projects and your manner of presenting them. My reason for not subscribing previously is that my list of subs is already more than twice the height of my screen and it's quicker to open a bookmark rather than scroll down that list. However, as it seems important to you, I have deleted a fairly inactive US site to make room for you!
    BTW, what's the name of your intro tune? I'd like to hear more of it.

    • @DownUnderWoodWorks
      @DownUnderWoodWorks  4 года назад

    Great build !
    What works for me ... I lock 2 nuts together on a bolt that fits the insert, screw that into the insert and with my impact driver and a socket screw it into the pre - drilled hole. That screws it in with pressure from the top and not the inside hex, it is also easy to see when the insert is flush. a Little beeswax or candle-wax rubbed on the insert threads does wonders !
    Thanks for the vid and sorry, I cannot subscribe .... again !! hehe!
