Ok Larry,i will try :)
I made the carrier with 2 pieces of masonite,and i used some cardboard from a
ilford box.i cut the top piece of masonite out on my scroll saw,a little
smaller than the width of the film.I wanted the length to be real long ,so i
made it 5 1/2 inches long.I then put some spacers in for the film(120) edges
to ride on.glued the sections together,so that it is easy to load in the
dark.all you do is insert the 120 film into one end of the thing (paper and
all)you cut it off so that a little hangs out on both ends.then you load it
into the camera which is made from wood(i used 1/2" oak).I made it so the
back door is hinged,just for my convenience.
The pinhole is .018",the focal length is 3 1/2 inches,F 185(or as close as i
figured :)
I added a 1/4 -20 tripod socket,and a little rotating shutter gizmo,and badda
bing...a camera was born :)
I usually dont tell all of this stuff,because i cant type,and i couldnt form
a proper sentence if my life was at stake (we wont even discuss my
spelling..lol
Anyways,if you want any other info i will share,really..i will put a photo
up soon as i get one ready.
cheers!
