Hey everybody. I've been pretty quiet on here lately. And, sadly, I think it may stay that way for a little. My rig is as done as it will be for a while, and I'm going to focus on operating in my projects as I start my first semester here at college.
But, although I'm having a wonderful time, getting to play with all of the new cameras, lighting kits, and even comparing up my rig to the school's Magiqcam rig, I'm realizing one thing: living without a workshop is really difficult.
For the past few years, I've always had a pretty complete shop, and a car to drive around, and a full set of all of the tools I could need to build and improve and fix my gear. But, here, I have my Leatherman, some screwdrivers, my soldering iron, a bottle of superglue, and not too much else. And, my school doesn't have any engineering, machining, or mechanical courses, so I can't find any equipment on campus. Although to a certain extent it'll be nice to not be tempted to tear apart my rig day to day and upgrade it, It's a little worrying to think that if something goes wrong, I'm going to have to go find a machine shop in the area to fix it for me.
Looks like I need to start looking through the yellow pages.

I guess having no workshop is good. As you said, you'll be able to concentrate on your operating and lessons. Please do check back and post some shots of your work. It would be nice to see how you improve. Great job Tom.
