Mooi Jean. The previous version wasn't a failure, but a learning experience. Good video once again
I agreed
You are on of the cleverest woodworkers on RUclips. I very much appreciate your ability to conceive of, and then implement, your effective solutions with a reasonable number of tools.
It's sooo good to see a woodworking channel that keeps their full guard on the table saw!
It’s only a failure if you walk away from it, otherwise it’s just progress. Nice work Jean!
The manner in which you combine woodcraft with high-end thinking about mechanics, is inspiring; as also is the way in which that nexus of capability applies itself to development evolution from the limitations of what became a prototype. Your videos are both enjoyable and educational. You really are an R&D artisan.
Hi,
This really is a huge improvement.
A fat thumb up.
Keep it safe, it is not over yet.

Great design, great job! One minor suggestion - I don't know how tight you have the nuts to provide enough friction, but could wingnuts be used instead to save having to use a tool? If you find yourself having to adjust it, that is :)
VERY good video kind Sir. You are really a genius. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your blessed talents with us. Praise Jesus.
Nice redesign. Looks MUCH more stable. Failure is the path to success. Don't be afraid to show stuff that doesn't work again. You ended up creating a very good arm in the end as a fantastic demonstration of iterative design.
I have always been known for my ability to to overcome and adapt through innovation and creativity. My ability pales in comparison to yours. Truly inspiring.
I started today to look for a DIY articulated arm and here you are! What a coincidence.
Great idea! Now that you know it works, I suggest you give each piece a coat or two of a hard finish like shellac to seal the wood from moisture caused expansion and contraction. Also put knobs or wingnuts on the bolts to allow easier tightening.
Nothing wrong with the initial device. It was fully functional so ot was not a failure. It was for a smaller/lighter application.
Nice work on the upgrade!
Thanks for sharing!
Love the way you problem solve and are happy to show the projects that weren’t as good as you hoped. Hoping you have plans for this. I would like to build something like this for lighting in my garage. Thanks for another great video 😀
Prototype ≠ Failure
I'm glad this version is working well.
Awesome you so quickly made the upgrades, great new design. One thing to improve it, wing nuts!
Built a pillar drill stand yesterday - can't wait to see your take on it. Mine is floor standing though so had its own complications. Cheers mate - from Australia
Thanks for posting your learning experience. I am building a table on a swing arm with a similar design. One section and in metal, but the same trapezium action. I am also worried about stability and thanks to your videos I know what to investigate if things don't work out as I planned. Keep up the good work.
Love the aesthetics! Use of ply is sooo nice. As Michael Gray has suggested the wood will expand/contract/wear. Nyloc nuts on those arm through bolts will help.
glad you are back at it! I search for new videos every few days!
Great Work !!.. I like the triple leg arm idea, also consider adding Leather washers under the steel washers. The others below mentioned wing nuts, great idea.
Good design evolution, nice execution and great story telling. Thanks.
Version 2.0 looks more aesthetically appealing as well. Great job. I love the Hadida call in the background.
My last project was also a failure but it is just something to learn how to do better. Showing a failed projects takes guts.
Wow... well done Jean... much better... I seriously need to build something like this... looking forward to the drill press stand... 👍
Brilliant ! Your videos are a pleasure to watch, so inspiring, so relaxing, good work and thank you !
Very, very good. Simplifying and improving while eliminating less useful functions is called development. Using wood, aside from the fact yours is a "woodworking channel" is excellent as it will vastly reduce high frequency vibrations that metals cannot and that matters for camera work.
Also, the cleat wall system is really beginning to show its advantages.
great video. Thanks for taking the time to share your skill. I'm working through another project that works in conjunction with an articulating arm but I need a better understanding of how they work. Thumbs up
Congratulations for your very inspiring work.
Nice work. I might try to incorporate as a dust collection arm for my table saw.
Always entertaining. Thanks for sharing!
I like how you setting up the shop, looking good
Good looking design. Having built a couple myself, i found that the wood slowly crushes over time and it flops down, I would recommend making up some knurled wood knobs to tighten up the joints every now and again, saves getting the spanners out!
Looks fantastic. Good job dude..
Hope it serves you well. Really enjoy your vids🤘
Very good design, simple and strong 💪👍
Great project!!
Awesome work... definitely a project for me in the future.. I'm always tripping over my tripod...
Awesome build !
Very nice! I wondering if that over time some springs might be helpful as the arm is repeatedly used. But for now, it looks to be a terrific and very functional design.
Another great build
I just found your channel and it's so nice to see a fellow South African being so active on the site. I'm definitely looking forward to future videos and hope to pick up some tips about setting up a hobbyist woodworking shop here with supplies actually available in SA as well
True - watching all those woodworking channels, they are all US - there is a Home Depot next to each Starbucks or McDonald, they got all the materials and tools - and much cheaper (relatively) than over here, I would think. Also, I noticed many makers use the green(ish) Ryobi range - haven't seen that in SA. I figure it is their sturdier line, as the one they sell here would not 'survive' over there - but maybe it's just thorough 'product-placement' :-)
Excellent. Now you have 2 articulated arms.
Nice job!
Great re-design and video
Love the improvements! Could I suggest swapping the top bolts (or all of them?) on each arm to hex head bolts and then store the dedicated Allen key somewhere on the arm so you can easily adjust on the spot if needed.
Brilliant engineering 😊
Great job buddy!!
Nice job and great tool for you.
Great work
Good job!
I think the main weak-point was that swivel within the joint - I don't think I ever saw that before (I used to have a metal one, on my desk, with springs). I would have tried to salvage the old top-part, using it on your new triple-arm (as opposed to building that new arm) - as you eliminated two weak-points already. But, this one works, so you might be able to use that old one later on.
Also, good to notice you painted the walls! Nice channel, I appreciate the combination of wood-working and finding solutions - subscribed.
Nice, i have got a drill waiting for a stand also, will see what you do so i can pinch your ideas!
This is great man, thank you!
Another great video!
Nice job.
Fantastic! What a great build! Maybe add a bit of wax between the moving parts to reduce wear and it should last for years!
Thanks for the tip. I generally use silicone spray but wax would probably work better.
Now that was bad ass 👍
Buen soporte para la cámara. Un saludo.
Gréât job man 👊🏻👍🏻
Great camera tripod
Good video, super!👌
Realmente incrível seu trabalho.. estou querendo fazer um desse modelo aqui na minha oficina, mas com trilho no teto ... Agradeço por compartilhar uma ótima idéia... 🛠️👍🏼
Jobs a good un, Version 1 can still be used for lights and things where movement isn’t such an issue. Great stuff.
Excellent
very cool
Nice idea and good improvements. One thought, using a hardwood may be a better material choice as with plywood half the grain is running in the weak direction
"articulated" is very grate!
Great job. Any plans to release a plan? Or can you share some more info on the brackets that join the arms together?
Like the new simpler design
Menginspirasi 👍
Thanks for this ideas :) now I have an idea to make my own for a better videos of my table works if I could have like this boom stand or arm :)
Think of a small cnc for your shop, it definitely makes life easier.
3:33 excellent toilet paper holder!!
Bacana meu amigo
Nice! New drill press?
Cool fix to version 1. Do you have one of those rubber sticks to clean your sanders paper? That helps me extend the life of my sanding belts.
Great job man..... Already follow your work for a long time but for this project maybe you should see my "camera boom arm crane" design.. add spring to make it easy lifting.... btw you are awsome
Thanks! I'll check it out.
I like the way you worked it out to enlarge an add the extra leg on bottom to new wall mount an new joints. Also to go shorter on top an only two legs. Getting away from all those knobs to turn helps. Easier plan to follow for any one to do. Nice. I don’t record or want to, An my need for something as such in my crowded shop would be ( as I would say %^&#@&* ) an of no need. But a great design and build thank you for sharing, you very highly skilled.
Hi I like your beltsander station any plans or video for this. My beltsander is just collecting dust so want to do somethin usefull with it. Great channel.
That new arm is a lot like me, strong and stable, but squeaky when it moves.
Do another video on the ceiling storage
Hi Jean. Loving your work, thanks for all the effort you go through in making these videos. What camera are you currently using?
I have a D3200 Nikon but I am looking into replacements at the moment.
Maybe add door springs if need help holding up. No need in bolt tension
Do you have plans for this build? I would like to know what size of bolts did you use and what was size was the pipe cut to? I could really use plans to decide on the length of the arm pieces and the triangular cover plates. Thanks for all you give to the woodworking community!!
I'll try and get some plans out soon.
@@WoodshopJunkies If you get a chance, I'm also really interested in plans for this... or even just rough measurements for things like the arm dimensions and separation between them where they're bolted.
Good
Nice, Will great to try out, any chance you can share the blueprints?
Wow
How much weight do you think it could hold? I like this design for a monitor mount for my office. Looks pretty nice.
I have a doubt. How to make the joints loose and tight. Can you add a feature so that we can tighten the joints so it wont move and loosen it to move it to a new position freely
😆 thought I heard router arm and was thinking WTF? Finally caught camera mount towards the end. All through the vid kept mumbling to myself "ain't gunna cut it and why in the hell is he doing this?"
would wing nuts make it handier to adjust friction on the arm?
How did you know the lengths of the components of the arms and the triangle piece dimensions? Or did you just wing it?
Very chunky. Possibly overly complicated build, too. Not a complaint - just pointing out V3 is already looming lol
Wouldn't triangular girders be stronger? Also, how about the concept of counterweights or springs for support instead of tightening the nuts?
👍
What is the silver cylinder material you used for the main joint?
👍👍👍great 👍👍👍
Hey mate dont suppose you have plans available to look at?
15:37 "deez nuts"
It would be useful to learn to build with metal. If you built your arms out of aluminum or steel tubing, it would be very stiff. And drilling holes in metal isn't that much different than wood, you can use the same drill or drill press. Moreover I'm willing to bet aluminum tubing in that size would have cost less than the sheet of plywood.
Alan S there’s a reason it’s WOODSHOP JUNKIES
goggles789 you have to purchase a sheet of plywood even if you only use a bit of it. You can get 1x1 aluminum tubing for $12 for a 24ft length from your local aluminum supplier. Hardware store prices are for residential customers to get overcharged.z
@@terrybyrd3676 What a closed minded argument, I do metal fabrication and only recently found value in woodworking, some times it's good to diversify your abilities to create, in order to make bigger better stronger things, my dude.
Такое классное видео такая работа а ты все испортил
