Seeking anyone that has built from/modified Ty Guillory's plans (11x14)
I have an uncle whom has offered to build me a camera.
I've sent him a copy of Ty Guillory's "Making the traditional wet plate camera manual" (bellows version); the manual describes building an 8x10 camera.
Has anyone used this plan to make an 11x14? If so, please get in touch, just after some dimensions I can forward to my uncle to make life a little easier for him, although he seems to think it will be easy enough (although he has never built a camera before, but is a skilled woodworker)
thanks

I have Ty's plans, but I have spec'ed out a 14x17. What I lack so far is time to do it! Good luck on your 11x14.

Alex, I see it has been a while since these posts. I don't come around as often these days. But, since you have the book already with most of the "how-to," just shoot me an email and I will gladly help you with some measurements.
Have a great day, Ty Guillory
