I was wondering why they made the front and back rails to have 3 slots until i realized that one of the slot is for a sliding tripod block which i do not have for my Eastman No 2.
I found this thread (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?63560-WTM-(Want-To-Make)-Eastman-Kodak-2D-Tripod-Block-in-3D!-Pictures-anyone) which has some useful photos of the block. I will attempt to make one soon.
I have limited woodworking knowledge. Is there any reason to make the block out of 3 pieces of wood using joints as seen in here rather than using a solid piece of wood?
