Re: my new wet plate back
That looks pretty nice. Good luck tomorrow and post your results! I hope to pour my first plate by the time of my birthday in February. Has your friend built these before or is this based on other designs? Also, does he accept commissions?
Re: my new wet plate back
Cool !! I am planing to make a12 X camera my self !
Re: my new wet plate back
I imagine that's quite an ordeal; sometimes just loading film holders seems like a lot of work to me. Have fun!
Re: my new wet plate back
Wonderful-
working out great-
Re: my new wet plate back
Looks great, but, Dude, You need to get some wheels on that studio stand. : )
Go to www.mcmaster.com, search "caster" then select "stem" then you can get the right stem style and size. Rolling's better than carrying!

Man, I don't see studio cameras up on blocks too often. :) Those look like pretty decent plates. Starting off with 10" x 10"--that's confidence.

I'm not being cute or an A**hole, just trying to be helpful, I LOVE having my cameras on wheels.....hadn't thought of the hand-truck, I was imagining you and a friend carrying it around like a monster fold-a-bed and having to do it over and over to compose : )
Your plates are looking nice, wet-plate is big fun, I took a workshop this summer and will be setting up my own kit sometime when other projects slow down.
Re: my new wet plate back
Congratulations on the new camera and learning the process, it all looks like it's coming together for you.
Re: my new wet plate back
thanks guys!
tracy, i know you were serious. i appreciate your help.......thanks! i am going to get some wheels...and i am looking for some that will allow me to wheel her over some uneven terrain! i am planning to have it semi portable! i figure with all the extra wet plate crap you have to carry around with you a stand would just add to the mix. :) i need to have the big lens board so i can shoot a large variety of lenses (and of course a big plate) seems a lot easier than a giant tripod as far as setting it up and and moving it around. the hand cart works perfectly for getting it in and out of the garage right now.
i am going to try and make a few more plates this evening.
Re: my new wet plate back
