Yes, for $10 dollars or less you can make a perfectly useable ground glass for virtually any large format camera. I am currently restoring a Conley 5x7 view camera and needed a ground glass. Most are strangely expensive so I made my own with a $1 picture frame from Dollar Tree. This process will work for ANY ground glass and also serves as a way to make your own anti-Newton glass for scanning your negatives.
I urge you to source most of your supplies locally (especially the glass) as I did, but if you can find a few of the things from the video online below using my affiliate links:
Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help in the comments.
