Support Clough42 on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/clough42 Today, we're making magnetic camera mounting locations for the shop. We'll cut out 1/4" A36 steel plates, weld up mounting brackets, and hang them from the ceiling using Unistrut and structural connector screws. This will give us a place to mount the Noga Big Boy articulating arm that we converted to a camera support in a previous video. This video has a little bit of everything: plasma cutting, grinding, welding, fabrication, and machining.
