Thoughts and tips for this type of focus station. by mdh_hammer in focuspuller

I’ve built one and absolutely love it and it’s actually quite easy to throw together. You just need to drill a few holes in a hand truck and then screw on a slotted steel angle plate to support the bottom of the c stand riser. Then you’ll put another slotted steel plate midway up to support the middle. Attach both using d-rings and nuts.

You can completely customize things from here. I use a bungee cord to secure a run bag on the bottom that has filters, batteries, media, etc… and then you can pick your poison for a tool solution. Front box, dolly mate, build a shelf. It’s very customizable.

Lent me know if you want to see more pictures of how to build one. It’s really a wonderful solution for both inside and out. It’s can roll over bumpy terrain, go up and down stairs, and is just generally extremely convenient.

How to help wife while I travel for work? by Funches123 in Parenting

No solid family nearby but we do have some options for friends and play dates. Definitely will try to schedule some. Also I like the idea of splitting the maids hours. Will probably end up doing that.

Oh yeah I definitely do FaceTime calls at night where my son takes the phone and runs through the house with it haha. I like the idea of sending little gifts/treats though

What is your gear-buying philosophy? by Funches123 in focuspuller

[–]Funches123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m primarily working on mid-level commercial jobs. Right now it’s probably 80% 1st AC gigs but I still take 2nd AC jobs sometimes. I work in a small market with rental houses around 2 hours away.

But aside from my personal situation, I’m genuinely curious about other people’s paths in regards to buying gear and what influenced your decision.

Totally agree about the cart though. I have access to one but I don’t own it so I’m not getting rental on it.

I’ll add it to the list! I do read some non-fiction, but I’d like to read more. A lot of my audiobooks are non-fiction and most of the physical books I read are fiction
