    Thanks, Steve
    I only buy from him through eBay that way if I don't get the merchandise I get my money back.

    Or you could just make your own if you're crazy enough... I'll be making a new one in the new year for my 14x17. The first one I made is fuuuuuugly.

    I've had no luck finding suitable fabric.

    I was able to find black fabric that is dull on one side and shiny on the other. Doubled up, it's light-tight. I went in for some more, but it was all gone. Found another material which should also work.

    Custom Bellows UK. a little communication goes a long way, I have ordered bellows from them for around 10 years, and many thousands of dollars. My only one experience dealing with anyone else ended in a return.

    Deardorff TN: Same here on that, he keeps a good profile on Ebay but outside of that he is terrible. Told me that his bellows maker is no longer making bellows but he had in fact stiffed his former maker ( a very very reputable maker) for a lot of $$.

    I bought TK 45 standard bellows from Rudy on eBay. I bought the frames from him, too, at the same time, and he attached them free of charge.
