Hello
I am looking for a ground glass for a 2.25"x3.25" Watson press camera. The actual glass size would be a bit larger. Would it be possible to "grind" my own? I am looking for cut film and cut film holders also.

Any advice will be most appreciated.

When restoring my 8x10 Century, I got a piece of ground glass off of a vendor on e-bay. It was reasonably priced. You could get a 4x5 piece and cut it down. From what I have read it is not that difficult to grind your own, but I have not tried it.
