@sixtiksix @sixtiksix- good on you! I would recommend using 'O' rings and grease instead of bearings. Many years ago on a tourism shoot we got blasted with sand and had to dismantle our professional tripod head and clean it. I was supprised that it was 'O' rings and grease.

@sixtiksix But,,, an improvement to the DIY one is make a plate with grooves for the rings to sit in so they stay aligned and separated.The rings and grease give enough friction to move smoothly. I am working on a way of making that cheaply.. haven't done the tutorial yet though.Blessings to you.

great tutorial! Good ideas to. Finally a DYI someone can do without access to 'home improvement stores' or special adapters ordered online. I live in guatemala and don't have access to any sort of stuff like that. On that note, I noticed you said above that "you live in the 3rd world," where exactly? Thanks for this great video.

@willemstockton , I am in Colombia, so I too have no 'home improvement stores' or specialist adapters, and added to that, no budget even if I did have those things. It's got to come from recycle material or the closest 'ferreteria' if I make it. :)

Is it okay to wear shoes while I'm using my power tools?

sure! Recommended actually.( I just happen to be a get in touch with the earth beneath your feet type, who grew up mostly without shoes as a child, but have been extremely thankful for steel capped boots on many an occation... and live in a third world country where those sorts of regulations have not caught up yet. Notice I still have all ten toes ) be sensible, be safe!.
