Not sure if you can tell, but it’s Friday here in the studio, and Friday things are happening at a Friday pace.
Lara and I were having a good laugh about The Baby Battering Ram, and I was kinda bummed about how it wasn’t all that practical for anyone or anything over 18″ tall. That’s when inspiration struck like an Acme Anvil and The Siege Tower was born.
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray!
We actually have two of these clothing racks which is one more than we’d ever need, unless we were photographing the entire cast of the broadway production of Cabaret or some such. We hardly use one, and it’s always in my way. Until now. Now it’s the almighty overly engineered basis for The Siege Tower.
Once again, gaff tape. If there’s no gaff tape, it isn’t happening.
Just look at that glorious application of gaff tape. Somewhere MacGyver weeps tears of joy.
It’s really solid, moves around really smooth, and as an added bonus, it’s specifically engineered just low enough to not tear off any sprinkler heads.
But you know, if you’re a little worried and a little crazy, toss one of those 15lb bags across that top bar and set your soul at ease.
The only downside of all this epic genius Friday afternoon engineering is that I’m eliminating the need to drive downtown to Glazer’s to buy replacement parts.
I am gonna need more gaffer’s tape…
