No Visible Means of Support

Look closely at these three photos and see if you can tell what is different:



If you said the garage looks cleaner then God Bless You!  It is, somewhat, but no, that's not what I'm highlighting.  The title might be a clue or maybe not.  Okay, okay, here 'tis:

This was a birthday present back in May.  This tripod can elevate the camera high enough to get the first two shots, then lower to allow the closeup in the third.  Naturally I can bring the leg extensions in and make it even shorter.  It will live inside next to my workbench most of the time, though I hope to have many more reasons to bring it out into the garage in the days ahead.

  1. Your setup looks like an island design? Is it on wheels?

  2. It is an island, but not on wheels. I'm using Gorilla Rack knock-down (or bang-together) metal shelving units for support. As a complete unit it makes one tall shelving unit, 7 feet tall, 18" deep and 4' wide. I have made it into two units, each using 2 of the 4' uprights and 2 of the 3' uprights. The benchwork rests on inverted L girders spanning the two 4' uprights. Maybe a picture will do a better job explaining...
