Hi, I’m Ralph and this is the trail of my new movie, “Manhunt II”.

We were laying out the tripod not square. We wanted to be cut 7 inches x 7 inches. Now, we are going to find the middle of it. Next, we are going to drill a quarter inch hole through here as a pivot. We are kind of have to sink the T nut in order for the Tripod plate to attach.
So, figure out how deep you are going to have to countersink into the plywood with the paddle bit in order to get the T nut seated as low as possible.
Now, this is the part that is going to attach to your tripod. Find the straightest of your two 1 x 3’s and set it aside. Grab the wood you want to cut a 7-inch long chunk out of it. Now, cut a 21-inch chunk of what’s remaining. Now, we are going to laminate these two together with those #6 quarter inch dry wall screws. Careful, you don’t want to split the wood.
Now, this is the vertical upright that the jig is going to attach to. So now, we are going to attach this to the tripod plate. So, take in the corner braces, laminate them up all the way around. We are going to screw all these together to make sure that it stays nice and vertical. For the screws that are going to the 1 x 3’s you are going to want to drill pivot holes with that 8-inch drill bit. So here we go.
Now, let’s start attaching parts to make this thing fly. So, measuring down 1 inch from the top of the 21-inch piece, you are going to want to drill a little pivot hole and then throw in one of the eye screws. Now, measuring 10 inches down from the end of the 21-inch piece, you are going to mark your center there. This is going to be the main pivot for the jig assembly. Now, make a mark 1 ¼ above and below the line that you just made. And, on the 8-foot piece, make a mark 2 feet from the end. Line them all up so they are nice and centered. Drop a nice 5/16 hole right through both of them. Now, we are going to attach them. Throw a fender washer on the bolt, two fender washers between the two pieces of wood, another fender washer once you get outside that, a lock washer and then throw the nut on.
Now, you want to tighten this up until it’s just snug. Now, we are going to attach the camera pivot. Now, from the remaining 1 x 3, cut out an 18-inch scrap. Make a mark one inch down from the end, drill a pivot hole and throw in an eye bolt. I am going to draw a 5-inch line down the center of the end of the jig arm, drill a 5/16 inch hole through it. Drill 5/16 inch hole 10 inches down from the top of an 18-inch piece. And, using the same set of piece of four, bolt this altogether. Tighten it up again so that it is just snug and here we go. Drill a little pivot hole to add another eye bolt at the other into the jig arm. If you did not countersink your T nut deep enough like me, you can take a chisel or knife and cut away some of the material on the bottom. Now, put the jig on the tripod and get a rope. Tie it to the upright camera pivot at the front end of the jig. Run it back through the center support and back to the farthest eye bolts.
Now, we are going to make the camera plate to go on the front. So, cut a 3 inch by 12 inch strip of plywood, drill a quarter inch hole in it. That is where the bolt is going to go that attaches your camera. Take those 2 ½ inch by 3 ¼ inch corner plates and screw it altogether. If you just tie the front pivot to the center pivot, it will move up and down parallel. But if you want to do a poor man’s tilt, run the rope through the center pivot and you can use the rope to tilt the camera up and down.
Republicans and democrats are like M&M’s. Sure they’re different colors but when you get down to it, they’re both ooey and gooey evil corruption on the inside. Uh! Will this girl ever stop talking. I guess not. How can I shut her up? Punch her? No, that will get me fired. Maybe if I’ll walk away, she’ll realize that I was never listening from the start and just stop talking.
Male: Mr. Nelson, I have not seen you touch that keyboard once today. If you don’t get typing, you and Mr. Bear are going to have a conversation and it’s not going to be pretty. It’s going to look like this and his claws are going to be in your face. Okay? Type.
God! My boss is a dush bag.
