Where & how did I create my videos?

 I don't profess to be a movie director, but my videos have been seen on many occasions. When I'm holding my shellac stick in one hand and the camera in the other, I always need an extra hand to hold my setting tools. I had to constantly improvise my tools and accessories.

 The black tube against my bench clamp is my camera. I steadied my camera on a (handmade) mini-tripod. To get the proper height, I picked the correct boxes to elevate the camera and its lens. 

 

 To steady the camera and the attachments, I placed two heavy weights on the rear of the platform.

  All of these accessories were collected long before I bought my Digital Microscope. This collection of pieces only gave me a casual magnification.

 When I was teaching at a jewellery school in Central Ontario, Canada, online. I used the same combination of 'camera and a laptop' for viewing.

 I let my students know that I was teaching directly from my bench at my home and not from a professional filming studio.

  No matter where I was teaching, the results were still the same. It appears that my students learned a tremendous amount of useful information even under some austere conditions. What you see here is my bench in my basement, under a flight of stairs.
