For a basic test I mounted my 8x10 Sinar P on a tripod. Took a 300mm Rodenstock lens and mounted it backwards in a lens board. Placed a negative over the GG and pointed the thing at a wall. Using a studio hotlight dome placed it over the GG holder and projected an image on the wall. Moving the tripod allowed for a wide range of image sizes. Using a long Sinar rail and moving the standards gave a lot of adjustment as well. I don't have enough horizontal bench in the darkroom but I have plenty of floor room to find a wall to aim at.
I'm going to make a frame to hold an easel on the wall with x/y adjustments. I've got a hercules tripod with geared adjustments in all directions. I figure with all the adjustments the Sinar standards have and using the laser alignment tool I can get all the stages fine tuned. Now I have to figure out a light source!
