    After market protective plexiglas ground glass cover

    I am wondering if anyone in the LFP forum has ever seen or know of a source for a protective plexiglas cover like the one I have posted below. If I had tools I might try and fabricate one but I don't. Is there a retail source or even a craftsman who sells these covers?

    Help's appreciated

    thanks

    What a waist of room and weight if these instead can be mounted further in and add a fresnel! Both joking and not

    1/4" Coroplast 2 part to fit, glue both to a strip of wood

    Very lightweight yet strong

    I have lots of it for projects

    sheet of 1/2 polyethylene packing foam, gator board, or a nice thick camera wrap - if you only need protection while packed. You can line a simple fabric lunch box with the foam for 4x5. Chamonix makes a nice camera wrap.
    The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

    That looks exactly like the one Keith Canham sells.

    It says Canham right on either it or the ground glass it no doubt came with. But it's otherwise an easy thing to make if one is familiar with basic acrylic fabrication.
