I'm building a Robot Arm because I can't afford to buy one.

I'm a cinematographer by trade, but I'm getting lazy. So I want to build an industrial robot arm that can do amazing camera moves, and basically just do my job for me. But I want to do it all in my humble little home shop. This first video of a multipart series covers the design and build of the wrist joint.
