Girlfriend builds her first rig

WindirBear · March 31, 2017

This is her first build.

I had to record with my phone, and it kept cutting off so I kept having to press record, and I kept running out of space.

I also had to balance it on top of my fridge. Sorry guys, I really would of like the video to come out better, but I don't have any video equipment.

Please, give constructive criticism if need be! I hope you enjoy!!!

Props for talking her through it and not just doing it for her. I don't have the patience to teach people how to build or let them figure it out themselves, so I tend to just do it quickly myself to save time or stop me from getting frustrated with them being slow.
