Camera slider

Christmas and New Year have gone and whilst I had a lot of fun, it's now back to the (literal) drawing board. I've been pottering about on a few projects for friends and I've also had one eye on the future. So to the future:
One of my latest jobs was to make myself a camera slider to (hopefully) improve the professionalism of my video's. I decided to drive my slider with an electric screwdriver, which currently are rediculously cheap, the one shown was £10. The rails are made from square aluminium tube from the local hardware store. Professionally made ones are very expensive, but its such a simple device and there are lots of Youtube tutorials, so if you are into your film making, I recommend you have a go at making one and save a lot of money.
I've also been working on a range of tables, but I'm not sure whether they will see the light of day as currently they won't work unless I find a way of defying physics and gravity. I'm also working on another lamp and I have to finish of my wheelbarrow!
If anyone asks me 'What's the future?' It's Momo's, little indian snacks that are absolutely magic with a cold beer. You can find the recipe in Rick Steins Indian book. They must be made with the hot chilli dip he also recommends. One of the best things I ate over Christmas - and I ate a lot!
