Creating Beautiful Light Fixtures with SnakeClamp Flexible Gooseneck Tubing

We recently received some pictures from a woodworking customer who used our 18" Heavy-Duty Flexible Gooseneck Tubes in Black to fabricate a custom flexible arm light fixture.  To say that we were impressed is an understatement!

This custom fixture was made from a 14' long piece of driftwood found on the shores of Lake Huron.  Although our flexible gooseneck tubes have female threaded end adapters, you can use our lamp nipples so that you can pull wires through and attach the gooseneck with a nut.

Here is another view of this beautiful fixture:

Flexible Gooseneck Arm Used to Position Vacuum Hose Dust Collector In Workshop

A customer recently sent us pictures showing how he is using a SnakeClamp flexible gooseneck arm with a 3 Finger Clamp to mount a vacuum hose - dust collector in his workshop:

SnakeClamp flexible gooseneck arm and 3-finger clamp supporting dust collector vacuum in a workshop

"Black walnut wood dust is extremely toxic to woodworkers' lungs. Since I would be producing very fine dust doing the finish carving with a rotary tool, I wanted an additional vacuum source as close as possible to the carving bit on the log in the photo. As you can see, I already have a general dust collector. But I also wanted something I could easily position and re-position depending on exactly where I was using the rotary carving tool (not pictured). The SnakeClamp products provided the means to build one."

 

In this setup the customer utilized our steel Plate Mount for attaching his flexible gooseneck to a piece of wood.  Then a 90 Degree Angle Adapter is used to "hang" the 3 Finger Clamp and suspend the vacuum hose below.

Here is a close up look at how the versatile 3 Finger Clamp is attached to the vacuum hose:

The 90 Degree Angle Adapter usually connects a flexible gooseneck arm with our Rigid Arm, but in this case the customer chose to attach it directly to the 3 Finger Clamp.  This required our 2" long Coupling to do that because both the 90 Degree Angle Adapter and 3 Finger Clamp have male threads.

Here is another look at the vacuum system which utilizes our 18" Super Duty flexible gooseneck arm:
