Yeah, I know I'm not quite smiling. Maybe it was because I wasn't able to get the paint perfectly evenly applied. But, it will do.

(optional) basswood was cut with a t-square as templates to drill and to check for pilot hole alignments when all the stuff is put together -the wall mount, wood spacers, and belt rack.

all the pilot holes must align to ensure that everything is level. along the way, keep measuring it is level.

I cut these stars out of an old olive oil can (note: wear gloves) using a barn star pattern. I bent them along the right lines (up on the lines going down the point on each ray, down on the lines between each ray), glued them together using very strong glue meant for metal, rolled a triangle of metal for the part that goes over the branch, then painted the whole thing gold.

This is a DIY Ring Light that was given to me by fellow Strobist member "Chris Pants" who is moving across country.

I added the gutter pieces to attach my canon flash to the unit and it seems to work pretty nicely. Hey can't beat free :)

Thanks Chris for all the cool stuff!

Here you can see the light distribution. I'm not sure what Chris used for the opaque material, but it seems to distribute the light fairly evenly with of course more light on the botton and more fall off on top (that is just light physics)
