Here is the follow up to my Photography Light Box. I am not going to get to elaborate on this one as it will come down to what size tubing you get will determine what size hardware you will need. So this will be a very basic tutorial.

I will be posting these pics on my flickr later so you can see more detailed pictures.

:: Parts ::
PVC tubes with connectors
3x Conduit Hanger (The size depends on the size of PVC tubing you have)
3x Nylon Lock Nut
3x Split Lock Washer
3x Standard Nut
3x Hex Cap Bolt
Power strip
Zip Ties
3x Clamp lights (with the ball joint and clamp removed)

:: Tools ::
Sharp Knife (I used a heavy duty box cutter)
Silver sharpie
Drill
Pliers or wrench

Leave some feedback ... thanks

Step 1: Assyembly of the bracket for the lights

[Pic1] All the parts.

[Pic2] Shows all the parts in the order they need to be assembled. The Nylon Nut should be tightened till the end of the bolt is flush with the outside of the nut and then on the other side tighten the Standard nut

[Pic3] This is the final assembly connected to the light. As you can see I point out where the flat side of the Bolt is. The non-flat (the pointy part) of the Bolt head should be should be touching the bracket that is holding the light. I tried both ways and this seemed to work best.

This is all up to your interpretation.
