Top of my project list was figuring out how to build a good ground glass protector. Worth reading the article just for that.

Thanks. Although I have no aspirations to ever own a Deardorf, I love to read about classic photographic equipment. As a suggestion: put a date of publication on the home page articles, please.

It was a pleasure to write - only took me two years to get it finished! Anyhow, for those interested in the ground glass protector, there is a thread here (http://largeformatphotography.info/lfforum/topic/497175.html) where I describe the construction of it.

For those like me who prefer to spend money rather than doing it themselves, Canham makes a very nice 8x10 ground glass protector that works well with the Deardorff. It costs about $30. Calumet sells, or used to sell, one also but theirs is ugly black ABS plastic or something like that. Also doesn't feel as solid as Canham's.
