This is amazing. You are amazing. As a fellow youtuber, I'm blown away by the amount of thought and detail went into this video. You also provide for a wide range of audience and it's awesome.
I just ordered my PDF files, I can’t wait to get started on my next rest days. Love your vids Brother ! Keep em coming, my workshop is even smaller than yours so your ideas are really helping me out, I really appreciate your content. Andy S, UK 🇬🇧
just downloaded the plans and I'm busy gathering all the hardware...gonna cut the wood on the cnc this weekend!!! I'm also making one for my CNC laptop. Thanks Ben, great jig and great video. Woooooooooooooo!
This is exactly what I needed in my shop. I've been using a manfrotto magic arm with a super clamp, but it just doesn't have the reach. Thanks for making this video!
Truly appreciate the breakdown in pieces/parts and explaining everything in detail! Maybe I should make one.. Once I get a camera. Another great video.
Andrew is from another world. I have no idea how he edits so amazingly. You're pretty good, but you'd think he did this for a living... not what he actually does. I almost want to fly out and go through a few videos with him from filming to edit just so I can understand how he does it.
I'm leveling up! I just placed an order for the plans today. I can hardly wait to build a couple of these to use around the studio and on the go. I record videos of myself painting tabletop miniatures, building DIY terrain for table miniature games, the games themselves, and other projects associated with the hobby. Each of those usually require the camera to be at odd angles and provide decent support for the camera. A phone adapter from Amazon could easily be added to record from an Android or iPhone and I'll likely customize it to hold a microphone for audio as well. That it will also hold my laptop all around my small condo and my makerspace is a huge bonus!
also I LOVE the fact that you actually demonstrate EVERY possible method that you have access to for each and every step of the project! Stuff like that makes it super approachable and accessible for guys like me who probably won't buy a CNC any time soon 😂
Hey man! Love your videos and your whole ethos on reuse to create amazing pieces of work. Has really inspired me to kick off a workshop build and get something going for myself. So a huge thanks for the inspiration and motivation to start woodworking. Keep doing what you do, you're a legend! Much love, Todd (Tasmania, Australia)
Loved this jig since the day it came out! Keep up the killer work Toby..... I mean Ben. Sorry for the mix up. We all know who the real master is behind the scenes! 🤓😘
This is really cool! This is similar to one I made last week. lol. I'm surprised it doesn't fall without having to tighten the bolts. I had to use threaded knobs for mine. Good job. subed
Good looking camera jig I just use 4 clamps to hold my camera will probably make one like yours might try to make it out of aluminium box thanks for quality content. Cj
I leveled up! Wooo! HA! Seriously though awesome design, I've been looking for something like this to get good overhead/top down shots but to be versatile enough to be many other angles too. Looking forward to build this.
Seriously... great job. I purchased the files and can't wait to share how I implemented your design. (Hint, it is not for anything camera related lol).
I'll just paint my 7 cardboard boxes that I stack to film from, different colors and then I'll feel like a poor man's Woby! 👍😁 JK Always loved what you create man! 🛹🛹🛹
Awesome work man, congrats. Will take me some time converting all those measurements to metric, but I might pull the plug on the plans even so, it looks really great and I suffer from the same small-shop pains. :) Cheers!
watched it, bought plans, built it! Overall time 4 hours. I just have one question, what are the small knobs for? I guess you use the large one on a bolt to add tension to the pipe in the clamping section but the other two are not described anywhere. Great plans, thanks! -- mike--
I use the smaller ones for spacers. If you’re using 2.5 inch bolts, there’s a lot of exposed threads on the bolt so the smaller knobs give you better grip
@WobyDesign - Impressive! Nice design! I'm seriously considering doing this. Quick question: What are the two smaller hexagonal wood pieces seen at around 6:55? I gather the largest hexagonal wood piece is for a knob to tighten the grip on the pipe. But I watched the rest of the video and did not see the small hexagons being used? Thanks for your awesome video!
Hey Ben, I was watching your video on making lumber from broken skateboards and was wondering if you've ever thought about trying to recreate a (multicoloured) wood grain style pattern with the skateboard edges. It wouldn't be particularly practical but might be good for laminating. Keep up the good work.
pretty rad jig! pair of parallel beams seems to negate stability/weight load issues comparative to a single strut system.. fastening a tightening knob to grip gusset plates would aid friction holds over nuts loosening from usage.. use of skateboard ply was unexpected, thought them boards had an annealed metal plate sandwiched between.. nice work, tidy shop..
*Clap* "Wooooooo" epic! I just bought your design files to build Woby Jig 2.0, I like the chamfered corner design 👍🏽 Q1: What's the purpose for the 1/4" grooves, 1/8" deep (PDF page 4)? and Q2: I only need 15 socket cap screws, not 50, right (PDF page 1)?
If #jackmanworks doesn't make one of these out of some of that bespoke pallet wood then I'm pretty sure this world actually has gone mad... (er)! Woooooooooo!!
Great video. I like what you did the the coloured veneers on the jigs towards the end. Keep up the great work dude and really like your editing. I’m trying to learn video editing myself. Do you mind if I ask a couple of questions, if that’s ok? Do you use Adobe Prem Pro, Final Cut Pro or something else entirely? I know a couple of people that use both and others like Davinci Resolve. But is there one program that you would recommend for a beginner to start with? If you’re too busy, that’s cool I understand and cheers for the content.
This by far is the one video that inspired me to build my own camera rig. I just posted two vids on my channel on my failed rig and my new rig I made from wood strips. Check them out if you want and see what you think. I do want to know how you get the colors you have on your camera jigs. It almost looks like stain to me. I would love to make some wooden storage boxes color coated in that same paint style.
I have a Shapeoko and use carbide create, but I'm new to it all! When I plug the design in to my program with the base settings for my bit, it says it'll take multiple hours to cut (using a #201 Nomad 1/4" end mill). What are your tool settings/do you still have your carbide create file handy?
Hey man I have a quick question on the V2 PDF. Are all the holes through holes? If not, I am confused on figuring out how deep each hole is based on the key
