Deardorff 8x10: Bellows and ground glass overhaul

This is a short film documenting how I maintain one of my working cameras. This heavily used Deardorff 8x10 is one of the first cameras I purchased and has stayed with me for many years. It is one of the cameras I use for process testing and has long been in need of new bellows and ground glass. This shows my process for swapping out the ground glass and installing new bellows.
Original music throughout is also my own.

Corrections to the film:
Former Deardorff employee and renown expert Ken Hough has let me know that the bellows I removed were in fact the original bellows installed at the factory; evident by the specific type of staples used. Also, he has clarified that the front of the bellows was indeed glued to the front bellows frame from the factory.

Statement on disabled comments as of 8/2024:
In an effort to focus more on my work with reduced distractions, I have limited my social media usage and disabled engagement features where possible -- this includes commenting across all social media that I use. When I share content, I'm doing so mostly as a record for myself and to share with those who follow my work in a bulletin board type fashion. While I appreciate the responses of my viewers, the nature of how these platforms work means that I am frequently inundated with one word comments, emojis, and spam. I spend very little time online and since I am not creating content to chase engagement, I have found that the best way for me to respond to meaningful questions and discussion is directly via email. I prefer 1:1 communication and this helps me further reduce time online, make more meaningful connections, and increase time spent in the studio. Those who follow my work understand how important this is to me. So, if you have questions or would like to share something with me, please feel free to email me through my website. Thank you.
