Last week the new casters with brakes arrived, and I promptly installed them. Out of the shop and to the house with a short stop in the carport for some paint, ran out of paint, trip to town, then in the house. Had to order a few small things that came in this Friday
Installed shelves and cables to support the wiring for the lights.
Spent Saturday afternoon transferring everything from the old wobble assed table to the new one.
It was really nice being able to lock all four wheels and not have the table wobbling while getting ready for a shot.
The taller and wider diffusion frame really changed the lighting dynamics, a lot more than I expected.

I bet you are going to have as much fun using the set-up as you did building it. Very nice first image. Are you going to print and hang it on the wall?
