I now have a tripod base; but not head to hook my camera onto. In this episode, I make the head and finish the tripod.

wonderful idea, thanks

Thank you. And on top it's useful. When I'm not using it for my main episode camera, I put one of my surveillance camera on it and I can move it around so I can check the CNC or other places in the shop

Dear Alain, To say that your tripod blends in your workshop is a very mild understatement. It's really looking more like an oldly worldly kind which to my mind seems to add some character & very appropriate considering your hobby. By all accounts a very nice albeit hefty tripod which I dare say will seldom be leaving its favourite resting place. Very well done as always. Si votre ramage se rapporte a votre plumage, Monsieur, sachez que vous avez le plus beau trepied du Canada. Kind regards.

Thanks, and on top I had a variation of a clasic :)))

When I have to turn a piece that may not stay well in the chuck, I usually put a live centre in the tailstock and use that to support the work piece. That way it can't pop out of the chuck. It also allows me to use less clamping force on the chuck, so the jaw marks on the work piece are minimized. Edit: I see you do this at 10:00 for the handle!

Thanks for these episodes. You inspired me to make a tripod floor lamp, something that is trendy now but expensive to buy.

When I rewatched this episode, to add the close caption, I realized that I should have used the tail stock. Yes this design can be used for lightning or anything, it's quite heavy and hard to tip over, but not too practical in a suitcase for a trip :))

@nathansmith5229 6 жыл бұрын

i was thinking put 2 pieces with finger joints together before chucking in the lathe.

This would probably work yes.

Tail stock support when turning the box joints

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

It didn't occur to me at the time... I figured out that it would have been easier with the tail stock, only when I was adding the close caption...

@johnfithian-franks8276 6 жыл бұрын

If you had brought the tail stock up for support then you wouldn't have needed more then one?

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

I know, but only WAY too late. Sometime in the heat of the moment we don't think straight. It's why I show all the way someone can crew up, so they won't follow in my foot steps and do it better :)

@edemup44 6 жыл бұрын

Seems like you could have rounded it and then cut box joints?

Why aren’t you using your Wood bandsaw?

@finnyr9330 6 жыл бұрын

So, out of curiosity; at what height, if the tripod accidently tips, will the camera be destroyed? And how tipsy is it at full extension? -- concerned fan PS Looks fantastic, btw.

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

Probably, this is quite heavy, at least 20 times the weight of my small camera.... But luckilly even at the full extent it'a quite stable, if the legs are spread wide enough.

@johnchung6900 6 жыл бұрын

The finger joint has weaken it greatly for holding in the chuck. Try rounding it before making the finger joints

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

But I was not sure I would have been able to hold it in place in my jig if I would have turn the base beforehand.

@johnchung6900 6 жыл бұрын

Do consider the safety as other turning like bowls are horrific accidents.

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

But now that I know this was not as straight forward as I thought, if I do this again, I will either turn the base and cut the finger after or use my tail stock to hold the piece in place.

why you don't use your homemade bandsaw ?!!!!

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

It was the last thing I did just before starting the bandsaw build. So yes this tripod was made in January 2017. It's why you were able to see snow in the background, but last year snow. My next épisodes will be from last spring or summer and I'll be wearing shorts and green grass outside :))

Head made carelessly 😒

@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 6 жыл бұрын

But it looks great :). It' only after it was done, that I realized that I should have used the tail stock. It's why I'm not shy to show my mistakes so when you'll make your own wooden tripod you'll be wiser and use your tail stock :)

@Loszmi 6 жыл бұрын

Years ago I made a tripod, and the heads I made ... you will not believe what. First of all you are the most real YT maker, secondly you always answer my questions. That's why I was not afraid of a little criticism because something always comes out nice.

Tail stock, we call it "konik" (a small horse, or a pony).

Il tiens encore debout après un an. Pour être franc le tuyau du grattoir est la partie faible, j'ai plus peur de le briser que le trépied lui même :))
