After many months of experimentation and learning, I've finally finished the camera I started putting together last winter. I built it as a sort of prototype for the 14x17 camera that I hope to start on one day. I have 200msheets of 8x10 x-ray film, and 100 sheets of 14x17, and I bought the film first. Silly, I know.
To make this 8x10 camera, I had to teach myself to use my metal lathe and milling machine. Before that, I had to get them to work, and before that, I had to find machines I could afford to buy. So, it's actually been a project in the works for several years.
I took a boatload of images of the camera today, and of the things that go with it. Here's one to get started.
