    Photo Enlarger Stand, Pine & Birch Plywood

    I'm using paper negative (I use the digital for project photos for posting), and haven't made many pix yet (mostly test pix). The 4 x 5 film, B&W, from the great yellow father is $108 for 50 sheets; I paid about $23 for 25 8 x 10 Ilford MGIV RC, and this gives a per shot cost of 23 cents for 4...

    Photo Enlarger Stand, Pine & Birch Plywood

    To fully utilize my 4 x 5 cameras, I acquired an old Federal photo enlarger; for a while, it occupied my Black & Decker Workmate 425, which was inconvenient when I needed that workbench. I finally got the chance to pick up some wood, and some more pocket hole screws. One birch ply 2' x 4'...

    4x5 Camera project; first box joint!

    I've taken up projects for strange reasons before, but this is one of the strangest! I wanted a camera for my restored wooden tripod, but I failed to win the Ebay auction for a 1902 Premo that I really wanted (I'd had a 1905 4x5 Premo when I was a teen in the 1960's). I responded by deciding...
