The second camera was all made out of 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch aspen from the
local home center. The tricky part was figuring out how to make the advance
knobs. They are made from drawer pulls. I mashed the screw heads down that
came with the knob to make film turners and added washers and springs. I wish
I had taken more care with the shutter, its tilted a little. I mounted the
zone plate and pin hole onto thin metal disks. There was a little gap in the
front where the extra lens can sit when not in use. My friend just got it in
the mail and loves it.
