I've been quiet for a while, but I haven't stopped work on the camera, I've just gone through a set of job interviews which have taken up my focus for the past week or so.

I'm attempting to work out a focusing mechanism composed of a threaded rod to control focus and a set of linear bearings and rods cannibalized from an old 3D printer. Basically the same mechanism as a Gibellini 4x5, but with multiple attatchment options for the front standard, like that of the intrepid 4x5.

For the film back I'll use the method laid out in John Grepstad's book (thanks for pointing me there Jim!)
