After reading Gordon's tutorial on painting with light, I decided to play with this technique. It's a slight modification: I hand-held my flash and pressed the "test" button manually. I tried a couple of different orders of operation and found it worked best to pop the flash last instead of first. Other than that, it's straight Painting With Light.

Frame nailer a very powerful tool. Showing it in someones hand could be an alternative view that might prove to be interesting. But this is a still-life - lighting on this adds drama but I could see a tighter crop. Spreading the air hose coil around the picture plane might address the spot on center focus of the subject.
