Here's the answer to ProPil Pop Quiz #6. (Hopefully this works. Never tried to upload video before.) Meg guessed closest!
In honor of the Year of the Ox.
Three issues are critical for the apparatus to work. It needs to be sturdy so the camera isn't jostled during "filming". There has to be enough generalized light (meaning, light for the camera to work with no flash, but no light shining down on the workspace, which would create glare), and it needs to allow access to work beneath/within.
It started like this (below), but the mesh wasn't sturdy enough.
The hole saw was the scariest power tool I've ever used. The resistance from the wood was extreme, maybe because the blade wasn't sharp enough. Eventually it worked though.
Then the light was good, but on the far side in this picture, the curved light fixture was right in my face as I worked through the ox video.
So last night I was at Wal-mart to find some clearance-priced holiday lights, and I removed the offending curved light. It's working pretty well now. More to come.
