Hi. I am completing the build of a Gepstad 4x5 camera and have a minor question, but potentially a large issue, with the tripod block and the camera holders. According to the plans,and the pictures, the blocks and the camera holders on the monorail seem to be cut on the blocks supporting these three pieces. I believe that these cuts are necessary (?) but are they? It would seem that the cuts through the internal blocks are for ease of making the blocks secure when the three bolts tighten the tripod mount and the two camera mounts are placed on the monorail.
AmI correct in this assumption, and does anyone have a recommendation on spacing. I have come up with 15 mm from the left and right edges of the top and bottom spacers on the tripod block,and similar spacing on the camera mounting blocks.
Thanks for the advise.
