Marty, Â I would strongly suggest the tripod mount be made from metal. Brass, steel, or aluminum. Some sort of plate or insert that would spread the load of...
marty, (and Matt) for my 8x10 and larger cameras I make, I have found a 3/8" T-Nut mounted into a slight recess (to flush the top), glued with 2 part epoxy...
Yes, another fine way to do it. Since Marty asked about how to tap the hole, I thought I'd give him that info. Many ways to skin that cat. Good luck to all. ...
Thanks to all who sent their suggestions for my 8 X 10 pinhole camera. I decided to use a 3/8 T-nut, which I already had in my tool room, I traced its top...
It is probably a bit too late but... Putting the T-nut flange inside the camera rather than the outside would guarantee that it does not pull out. The screws...
The T-nut-on-the-inside-pointing-outward is my normal way. I usually "seat" it far enough into the wood that the metal sticks out of the other side a tiny...

I'm getting ready to build a 4x5 too. I don't know whether it will be from plans or a kit like the Bulldog or from scratch. So far I have a film pack, a lens...
I have built three large format cameras. Firstly a 5 x 4 aluminium monorail that was rubbish. Then a 12 x 10 wooden field camera that was successful and...
I've working on my Polaroid 110B conversion project for more than 4 years already, and not yet success, but what I can share with you the lens interchange...

Can I pick your brains for moment. I have been making a paper pinhole camera. When I have them printed I would like them to be black on one side for light...

In the process of getting an old 4x5 TLR up and running again, I decided I would like to have an "in-line" viewer for the ground glass. I can probably build...
Have you thought of printing on black paper with white ink? I'm not sure if there is any black card stock available, but I think it would make your efforts...
I went into my local art supply store and just held up different pieces of black paper to the light to see if it came through. I found a heavy paper by either...
Thanks for the recent enthusiasm over the camera. I have a couple of working models. But as is so often the case I spotted a few improvements and didn't want...
