A 5x7 I made last spring. Sort of a fugly step-child of Gandolfi and Lotus. There's a rambling 2-part dairy of the project here- http://colinflanarygraham.com/darkshop/?p=1226

There's a few other project dairies on my site; I liked using the camera so much I made new holders for it and a new tripod as well.

Looks great! Can you show a close up of the back springs? Also, what are you using for the female end of the front standard screws?

Hi Michael, i used just 1/4 knobs bought on ebay and a neoprene spacing system i did and for the back spring a normal system with hacksaw blades and normals extension springs

They worked fine for me, the tension is adequate to hold the film holder in place =)

I love the bird.

Also, where did you get the rear tilt adjustment bars? Everything else I can totally see modifying from some piece of metal, but that piece looks machine, how much did it cost etc.? I've been wondering if I could purchase those individual parts that seem specialized from someone like Chamonix for a reasonable price and designing my own 11 x 14 or 14 x 17 camera.
