Did you love taking things apart as a kid?

Yeah? (I loved it, too)

When did you last take a machine apart just because you could?

The disassembled pressure washer was in the PressureWashr test facility and we needed to find a way to get a proper birds-eye view picture. Here’s the camera setup we ended up with. It’s a piece of a tripod hung from the shed purlins:

And here’s a better view of the lighting setup.

The white boards reflected the flashes to increase brightness and try and reduce shadows:

Do you like this type of thing?

Well… Stay tuned because the disassembly has already happened and will be sharing the images shortly.
