    DIY Filmholders

    Okay, so ULF and odd-sized film holders are expensive--even used, vintage (very used) holders. Here is an experiment to make your (i.e., my) own. The catch is, I have zero woodworking skills and very minimal equipment (a 10-inch mitre saw, an 18-inch metal ruler, a pencil, and a bottle of contact cement).....plus access to a really well-stocked hardware store that conveniently has a good supply of craft wood....

    This first attempt is for 7x11 holders:

    I start with craft wood (basswood) in three sizes:
    3/4 x 1/8 x 24"
    1/2 x 1/16 x 24
    3/4 x 1/16 x 24

    (T-dimension for 7x11 holders is .25 inch.)

    Here's the result of today's efforts:
