Hello Mr. Raney: I thoroughly enjoyed your camera making series on KZbin. I have been making ULF and LF panoramic stuff for many years. I do it with a complete machine shop and woodworking shop at my disposal plus decades of experience as an aerospace Machinist and Toolmaker. Using much less effective machinery and tooling, you make it look WAY WAYeasier than I do. I was most impressed at the bellows you made. I have made many bellows and wrote the book Modern Bellowsmaking, which took years to figure out. I am dying to know how you came to be able to make an effective bellows on your first try? We ALL used too thick outer coverings on our first tries making bellows. Just not something one thinks of. Very very well done. I am sharing your cameramaking series with everyone. I wish you had been around when the Puget Sound Cameramakers Club was active. We would have loved to have you. Thank you for making the single best cameramaking vids on KZbin. Barry Young

Thank you, Barry, for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the series! I posted the first video in the series without knowing how it would end. I just kept thinking that even if I messed it up in the end, there would be some lessons worth sharing. If you were to look closely at my bellows, you would not be as impressed. As you stated, it's a difficult process to get right and I have tremendous respect for artisans that have the patience to work through that and perfect it. I didn't really understand that going into it but I certainly do now. Thanks again.

This is beautiful! I love the contrast of the purpleheart bowties with the solid maple, and the epoxy work almost looks like dark kintsugi. Thank you for the video, and for the lessons

Is there a link for the product????!!!

I bought the kit from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X2G9RXW

It's worth mentioning that this kit has a mounting plate with just two bolts (it's designed for through-bolts) and I opted to drill two more holes in the plate since I was using wood screws. Probably overkill but I didn't want it loosening up over time.

220 is the same film as 120, 220 has twice the amount of film on the roll, if you can get 8 shots from 120 you will get 16 with 220.

What mechanism did you use to fix the focusing mechanism as in one knob is to move it further and the other one that locks it in place, how did you do that!

@TomRaneyMaker 8 ай бұрын

Good question! Both knobs are threaded onto the threaded ends of the brass shaft. The wood is hard enough to not strip out as long as you’re gentle. And they don’t require much force at all to turn. I put a bit of super glue on the threads of the right side knob. That allows it to turn the entire shaft easily. I made a few spare knobs in case these strip out, if ever. I also found that the brass threads were enough to tap the knobs. If you have a better solution, I’d love to hear it! New territory for me.

@aranyabanerjee9535 8 ай бұрын

@@TomRaneyMaker okay I get it! In India specially in my city its difficult getting a brass system or even if I get one its way to costly. Mostly I am getting 3d printed knobs and shafts and I don't know if they will have the same strength as yours but I thik of adding an extra screw on one side which when turned will create force on the moving part and thereby not allowing it to move on its own.
