Hello All,
I am wondering if it is possible to make my own lens boards
for this enlarger. I would love to not have the added expense
of purchasing the turret and then all of the lens holders that
you need to install the lenses on the turret. Is it possible to use
cheaper wood to make the lens holder? Any ideas would be a
great help.

I'm sure you can do it for lenses that mount on flat plates, but the original lensplates are usually pretty reasonably priced and quite plentiful on the used market unless you need an oddball size.

What do you have on there now? Do you have the slide-in single lensboard system?

I don't have anything as of yet. I was thinking of making my own slide in single lensboards.
