Hey all, I have a wet plate camera that I restored, And it has no removable plate holder. It's essentially a blank canvas. Does anyone have any plans for the plate holder? I could really use some help! I am a decent carpenter, and I made quite a few dark boxes. I do 19th century mostly, the camera is of that era.
Anyone?
Thank you!
Mike
Give this a try , http://davidharms.wordpress.com/2012...tplate-holder/
Then you can take your measurements off the completed project
This would allow you to use a standard 4x5 back.
Questions and comments are always welcome
I make dedicated wet plate holders

Jody, are your plate holders sensitive at all to the thickness of glass or other material used for the plate?
my holders take up to a 3.3 mm plate. thats thick enough for stained glass. tintype material and single thickness glass sheets work great.
I am going to be ordering one in couple weeks for 8x10, Jody
great!
its meant to read flat domestic shipping rate. My holders are close to a fairchild plate recorder but there are some differences.
