This is how you spend your Saturday - with a new TimeLapse Photographer

Getting wet on Nelson Mandela square!

Peter Hassall, Jonelle and I went out on a shoot to Sandton to do some TimeLapse at Nelson Mandela square.

Being there on a Saturday meant lots of people activity, with some very interesting shots.

21 Suppliers / 179 Parts to build one dolly

This is taking up way more time than I thought it would so it's slow going, but it looks nice!

From playing with dollies to producing a product

The dream becomes a business

I am soooo exited to see the progress of the Shukuma DOLLIES!!

It's been a couple of weeks since the engineer started with the CNC work on the dollies and the motor block and motor cover is now complete.  All I can say is WOW!

Rails are ready to be packed

The Rails has arrived...

WOW! I've been to JHB and back in less then 2 hours. I just arrived back home with 12 BRAND NEW 1m rails for the first 10 Shukuma DOLLIES. Great stuff!!

I was not in the mood for traffic and since the Anodizers open at 6am I thought I would leave bright and early.

Collecting stock for the first Shukumas

Getting these is like finding water in the dessert :-)

Of all the items that's making up the Shukuma, this was probably the hardest to find!  Now I have enough for 12 rails.  How cool is that?  Shipping stock to South Africa is no easy feat and finding suppliers that actually import this and willing to keep stock, well that's a whole different story.
