    Yes, a sliding box camera of the type in your illustration would be easy to make. But a lot depends on the focal length of your lens.

    What? Finals ? shoot, where are your priorities ?

    If you can find old issues of Photodarkroom Techniques- perhaps bound in the collitch library, there was, several years ago, an article about building an 8x10 fixed focus camera from cardboard - essentially a cardboard or foam-core box. Also included was explanation of hyperfocal distance so that a double sliding box was not necessary, nor, after setting the film plane at the selected foacus, a ground glass.
    A quick and inexpensive way to make some 8x10 landscape negs and get the excitement level increased for when you face some of the challenges to come.
