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.
The camera dolly function is a major plus.
Your humour is spot on just as your projects 👍 🤣
Love the bloopers. Very nice work. First time I have ever seen anyone do that for a light.
Thanks for adding the outtakes. It made me feel better.
Dude this is the smartest thing i‘ve ever seen in a shop... 😂😂🤩
I like the lighting idea and your sense of humor, Great video of step by step assembly.
"... to hopefully minimize the damage when I inevitably walk into it later." I felt this in my soul.
Such a great video. I can only imagine how must time you invest in designing, building, filming, and editing these high quality productions for us. I really appreciate all the time you take Drew. -Nick 😃👍

This is a great idea. Using it with the camera was a great idea as well.

Drew, You have a wonderful self deprecating sense of humor. My wife and I love these KZread 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.
“Flight of the Navigator” anyone? Nice work! Now just but the gantry on two parallel gantries and you’ll be UNSTOPPABLE!
Lol! The wrenches at the end, we've all been there brother.

This is why I'm partial to crescent wrenches.
How are you not starring on every woodshop tv show as a host ? You have the skills and especially the voice !
I made a similar thing without the trolley, but out of steel. I love the idea of using stationary casters for your trolley, brilliant!

Very cool build drew. Your way smarter than you look. I especially like the way you supported the beam without the help of your three legged coffee table possessing neighbor.
Cool idea, keep up the good work. Love the humor and the outtakes at the end.

Great build, Drew. You struck a nerve with me when you mentioned looking for the tool you just had in your hand.
What a great Idea Drew!! You'll get a lot of use out of it I'm sure..... 👍👍

Dude!!! You forgot to add a cupholder!!! Great build!
Brilliant!! I've got a lower shop ceiling (in a 140-year-old house!) which makes stationary lighting a bit tougher, but a minor mod or two, and that gets fixed with one or two of these little gems!! Thanks for a great idea...and design! :-)

You should seriously have your own show on TV Sunday mornings.
This a great ideia. Love how you bring everything together and how you're sharing your plans with the community. And the cherry on the cake are the outages at the end. I love those. Gonna put one of these together to set up my camera. Thanks a million!
What a great idea that appears to have many potential uses. I think I might try an adaption of the arm to hold a crown guard over the table saw. Thanks for posting.
