LOL, yeah, well ordinarily that might be so with Huon Pine but it was on my mind. Because just the other day, out the back of an 'antique' shop, that sold mostly broken old phones, pots and pans etc...

Seeing the mention of fruit and nut orchid trees and then the olive reminded me of when I made turned products out of them..afer curing for a year or three, cut pieces covered in synthetic type of...

Roger,
Would the D250 still have the same problem with the initial cold water from an instant gas hot water service..i.e. as has been mentioned below that it take perhaps half a minute before...

My old wooden bookform holders expose 8 1/4" x 6 1/4", then have a 1/8 inch shelf around the perimeter for the glass to sit on, ending up with the 8.5"x6.5" plate size.

ah! of course! i have one of those dryer machine thingies hanging on the wall in the laundry--its still in brand new condition because it never gets used LOL, I still dry the clothes with the old...

as i mentioned i just used candle wax or bees wax just because i had it on hand and it worked fine so i didnt need to bother with anything else,, but what are these 'dryer sheets' ? hate to think i...

Wagner, I have on occassion rubbed a little bit of candle wax along the track where wood meets wood. I have found this makes a differance and it slides easy

Yeah Lauren, its a sewing base i found at the back of a garage 20 od years ago, i cut some old baltic pine floor boards to make the top, i cant bring myself to get rid of it now, so it gets used for...

Thanks for the link drew, those folk look like they would have all sorts of info. have to pay to join though. so sooner or later i will probbly get around to it.

Thanks Pete, hmm, yeah if not here then I am not sure where to ask, I thought someone would have some hints or knowledge of these ol things, to chime in as they say.

I'm not sure how common it...

Firstly I hope its ok to post here, its kinda an accessory (albeit an old one!), wasnt sure where else other wise

I am wondering if there are some folks here that know about these old projectors...

Perfectly good results Damien, I am not sure if it is as easy using DDS holders, but using the bookform holders it is quite straight forward. open the holder, like a book, place the film in first,...

Thanks for posting the pictures Oren and David, they are very interesting to see..So different in many respects but also overall many similarities. Its curious how the 'lip' or film channel (as we...

thanks Oren, that will be great, i wanted to ask, but didnt want to put you to the trouble. much appreciated

i am not completly familar with the term block-form film holders, except that i thought...

Thank you Oren, the detailed discription is most helpful. cheers

The 6mm fold on the short side, that has the slight upward turn of 2mm on the edge of that lip may not be able to be easily...

Thanks Paul, yes the bend of 90 degree does provide a measure of stiffness, but if yours are like my 9x12 sheaths this bend also provides the extra height needed to get the film on the same plane...

I am hoping anyone with Ilford, Wephoto or other brand film can take an exact measurement of their sheet film for me. I have heard that Ilford sometimes have some variances so I want to know what the...

thanks Richard, Mike and everyone for your excellent and prompt replies...it has been a day or two and i have been pondering all this while caught up with work...so much so that i am writing this...

i have been looking at these what appear to be fine and versitile cameras. i particularly like how they can be changed to vertical format which i would make use of. but i am afraid i am getting a...

thanks for sharing those RR, they gave me a good ol laugh, a couple were gems!

i really like the idea of your whole plate site too, but me, being reasonably computer hopeless, as i i think i must...

thanks Ole and Sandeha for you responce,
it has at least lead me in the direction to get closer to knowing what i need.

thanks also to others for the offers to buy, however its not a camera...

yeah i realise its somewhat of a long post, with numerous questions, sorry about that...maybe i should have asked one question at a time but i thought 'what the hey' ..i might get lucky!

i have been wanting to get an 8x10 for some time but for whatever reasons i havnt as yet,-new V old, cost of ebony V whatever other brand, perhaps Shen i was thinking for the cost benifits andi also...

thanks for the confirmation Ernst. i'm confident i was accurate with measuring, more so the extra times i did it. i used a paper thin ruler on the glass and matched it to the ruler on the wall using...

Hi Ole,

now that the words Clement et Gilmer has been suggested it is easy to make out the lettering as such, with the exception the 'et' still looks like a little artistic flair has been used and...

Thanks Jiri,
that seems so obvious now i wonder why i didnt occure to me! i guess i havnt seen to many lenses with this type of markings.

I did a test to find the Focal length last night. i am...

Barry the lens appears to be french, its difficult to read because it is engraved in script (cursive) but it is a Euryscope Anastigmat 7x5 (what does that mean 7x5, 7 the lenght i assume) the 7 is...

possibly they dont have picture of the v900 yet...the small print up the top says that 'the model has not been released yet, specifactions are our best estimation'

Hi Barry,

its been quite some time but i vaugly remember trying to identify it when i first got it. at the time it seemed from all accounts I had at the time, to be a TP although i coundn't nail...

i came across BarryS post the other day and it inspired me to sign up and post this as well. i have mostly kept to myself about my small obsession with the old wooden view cameras...thinking its...

to be able to take a holder for 8x10 sounds good to me! or whole plate even..

i nearly bought a v700 the other day but thought perhaps i should wait and see if it turnes up--particularly because...

there may be something to it; a new model epson scanner that is.

i read the other day, i think it was that Mr Fisher guy (or on a forum that he is on frequently) that sells the holders for the dry...
