Sending off my Kodak 2D 8X10 to Star Camera to have a back made for shooting tintypes and was wandering if anyone has had any luck finding a head rest or posing stand out there. I've tried EBay and a few other sources to no avail. Has anyone found a source for these or has had any luck with making their own?

There are a guy, clevet, on the collodion forum selling stands, I dont know if they also work for people standing, but at leat for use with chairs. THey are proper replica, made in cast iron.
I just made my own, built in to a chair, so I didnt need to make it "stable" or heavy, since the person sitting on the chair is the ballast.

Claude Levet makes a beautiful and perfectly solid headrest. I have one and it's perfect.
