Alright guys, this is possibly video number one and quite often I'll do video number one too and then forget about the rest of them but in a sense maybe it's up to you to do video number two, three, four and five which is exactly what I want you to do. That there is something from Cammy's, from one of their stands and I'll put a lickable link in the description. Now you get two of these, you bolt them together And you have a tripod either side and you can put stuff on them. And that is the thing, if you watched my last gig log, this was part and parcel of one of the items that fell flat on the arse while there was a few people had too many drinks and started having fisticuffs. Bit of a silly thing to do that. But I actually looked at this when I pulled it apart and thought, I've got a great idea. Now you need to work with me here because this particular video is all about using everyday DJ items

1:23 Stick them around all ziggily-zaggily, wobbly-wibbly along there kind

Twisting them a little bit and making them into something else. Not changing it, just utilising it for a different purpose. So, first of all, it goes like that. I don't know if you can see there, but you've got this bit here with a hole in, there's one there, one there, all the way along here where you can attach your lights. If you've got the correct G-clamps you could possibly also attach something here. Another good thing you could do is just get some little fairy lights and like... Stick them around all ziggily-zaggily, wobbly-wibbly along there kind of stuff. But check this out. Start to think. Now imagine that's on the floor like that. Ah, see? Now first of all, something very important. If you're going to put something like that on the floor, there's a good chance it could do that. But if you can see there, there are, there's a hole in the centre, there's also three holes. Now what can you do with holey things?

You could possibly get a flat piece of wood, heavy wood, quite a large area and secure that onto the piece of wood. If you've got three bolts just drill three holes in the piece of wood and within say two or three minutes you could have that piece of wood bolted to the bottom therefore that would stir relatively well if you're still scared of someone pushing it over Then, if you've got your DJ console, you could just neatly slip a piece of the wood under one side there and then the other on the other side. Therefore, it's stereo as well. We've got a flat bit on the top. This is where the fun begins. Now imagine just getting a small piece of wood, only needs to be about 10 inches by 10 inches, 25 centimetres or so by 25 centimetres. Again, you could attach that onto the top, maybe put a lip all the way around it.

2:53 You can put something like this on the top

And guess what you can do then? I'll show you. You can put something like this on the top. Sorry. There you go. How about that? So, that, in a sense, is a cheap way of having a nice stand either side here. The reason I'm looking at something like this is because while I was in the States just going to the Mobile Beat Show, you can get professional ones of these. But I believe there was two of them for $1,000. Don't know how much that is, but... Served two or three purposes. What have you got that you use for DJing purposes that you could maybe go up and use it for something else? Practice and enjoy, thank you.
