Hi,

I want to build my first LF camera. So far I have made one of cardboard as "proof of concept" (http://www.largeformatphotography.in...orz%F3w-Poland) and now I think it's time to build some more serious one.
It wont' be really 8x10, because I plan to use x-ray film in 18x24cm size and I already have holder for 18x24 on one side 13x18 on the other.
Design is almost 100% based o Jon Grepstad's (http://home.online.no/~gjon/jgcam.htm) book.
My goal is to make it cheap and easy to made.
I plan to use plywood and oak. It should be stable material.
Also my experience with wood is really limited so it have to be a simple.
I do not hurry. It's good because I have to wait for warmer temperature because it's too cold in my garage now.
Just have to buy simple table saw to be able to cut wood straight
So far I've made 3D design with exact dimensions to be sure everything fits.
This is how I hope it will look:
