Wow super machine

[@GeraldJensen]

NOW I understand why the production quality of your videos is so high! I worked in the television industry for 28 years and really appreciate well-produced videos like yours.

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

32 for us, it's one of the reason why I've started my channel. Thanks

[@Addybhoot93]

This requires so much talent and experience.

[@tf1389]

I very like your tools

[@rolandosalvania4273]

Finally, I miss your builds alain. wish could see your video more often, more power.

[@timberdish]

Great project Alain! Really looking forward to seeing the next episode! :-)

[@Sludgepump]

Fantastic, as usual Alain!

[@AndreaArzensek]

I love how you have some oak boards lying around, I have to look for the nice pine boards in my shop. The tripod looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see the other videos!

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

LOL Yes this oak was from Matthias. His father cut it with his sawmill. When I visited his shop Matthias gave me some oak, I wanted to do something special with Mr Wnadell's wood, so I made this tripod, at least the legs :))

[@MarkRose1337]

It's amazing what you can do with dead tree carcass.

[@hebierob]

So much skill mon ami! Delightful!

[@briantaylor9266]

Very inspiring! I especially like the idea of the snow brush used as a sliding extender. For those that don't have a lathe to turn those beautiful oak legs, one might substitute round aluminum tubing.

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

Yes. The tripod wer have at work are somekind of fiberglass or something very strong and round but you're right alluminium is easier to find.

[@tbac2432]

I love this.

[@BossmanEight]

While I've always admired your desire to mill and fabricate each and every piece of your creations, there are occasional times when it just doesn't make any sense. Making dowels is at the top of that list.

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

I didn't wanted to go out to buy some dowels. And also I wanted to make something special with Mathias' father oak. So now I see Mr Wandel's oak that he cut himself each day. Priceless :))

[@BossmanEight]

There is that ..

[@leksey7870]

A great tripod!

[@fildubois7735]

Trop Fort!!!

[@slagriculture2023]

🔥

[@lukejohnson5247]

That will satisfy for a while... then you'll build a camera gantry . Awesome!

300 Drill press 700 Table saw 300 Miter saw 100 Hand drill 400 Belt sanders two kinds 500 Lathe 200 Mortise 10 Snow brush 40 Fancy measuring device 300 Router 40 Clamps (5) three kinds-sizes good ones 350 Band saw 15 Rasp 10 Wood file 40 Hand plane 60 Several drills for drill press 30 Hand square 30 Measuring tape 350 Disk sander 40 Polisher for fine sanding 30 Spoke shave I make this rather conservative list. Basically, it totals in the neighborhood of $3,000. But that is not for high quality tools. In summary, the woodpecker has a high end shop. Small wonder why such a tripod would not be cheap to purchase.

J,AIME BEAUCOUP SE QUE TU FAIT TU AS BEAUCOUP D, IMAGINATION

[@medicineman007]

Did you and Matthias coordinate this week's videos? :)

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

LOL not at all. I was keeping this video for a special occasion, and today was the special occasion. I added something at the end of the French version and I wanted a really nice video to add our annoncement. Just to say this was recorded in January of 2017 over a year ago, at least they're snow on the grtound :))

[@jamiegratton9748]

Last episode was green grass! Weather sure does change where we live! Another great video Alain!

[@robertshepherd8354]

Nice work as usual Alain. Whatever happened to the bandsaw you made?

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

This was made before the bandsaw. In January 2017 :) Ok I'm a bit behind in my posting but at least on this video I had snow outside, not this year snow, but still snow :))

[@jkbish1]

wonder what all those tools would cost? (not to mention operating skill )

[@leonardburns1780]

very nice looks better than the store bought ones ehhh

[@sorfilmcrew5844]

if it is not a problem for you, please share the sketch file.Thankyou nice video..

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

If you go to mt website the woodpecker.net you will find it in the plans section

[@ThailandAmazing]

Hey are you selling these. I’d be interested

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

No sorry

[@thenorwegianmaker]

Nice build, but you know, I could give you a very good price on a Vinten or Sachtler tripod with a good head... :-D

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

Probably but not as fun as building it. And on top I was able to use the oak from Matthias's father for something half decent to look at :)

[@thenorwegianmaker]

Yes, I know! I am a Vinten Platinum Dealer, but still, I'm planning on how to build my own custom camera rig in the shop. Love your videos btw!

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

WOW they're very nice tripod, but it's not as fun as making your own :) But I bet they're lighter tan mine made all from oak and sapele

[@sbtoolman12123]

hi matthias!...oh wait your not matthias this is just the same as a video as he has already done...

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

I thought you recognized the wood that I was using ;) Yes the oak come from their land and it's him and his father that turned the trees into planks. He was unable to carry the wood from Sault Saint-Marie to his house and he wanted to give it away to someone who would use it to something else than fire wood... And every body needs a wooden tripod :)
