Sounds interesting, but as difficult as my little 'project'. I am now thinking about making it into a camera-shaped box. Not one that works, but actually for storing little bits and bobs in.

Thanks Gleaf, that site looks very helpful. My better half suggested I should rope in his dad, as the cunning man used to be a toolmaker, and still makes little bits and pieces as a hobby...... I...

Thanks for the advise guys.

I kinda figured it would be a long shot and it would be make-your-own or bust! Maybe I'll find another use for those wooden pieces - and just buy myself a (more)...

Had you been bidding on it as well? :P

I know the...

I'm kinda new to LF photography (although not very new to photography in general) and managed to buy myself a 16x16" LF camera body today! I love practically everything about...
