** UPDATE **
I now have both of my books also on Amazon.
This will make shipping to places other than the US much cheaper. The Amazon ones are not spiral bound though. That is only difference.
Just search the book titles in Amazon.
I do still have spiral bound copies available. Links below.
For the photographer who is also an experienced woodworker, building your own plate camera is a great accomplishment. I have applied my many years of making plate cameras into two how-to books.
I aim these books to the experienced woodworker who is familiar with some traditional joinery. Some of the joinery such as the hand-cut dovetails may be substituted with box joints or finger joints. Mitered spline joints may be used in place of the mortise & tenon joints used in the books. Though aimed at the experienced woodcrafter, I feel that those with limited experience may be able modify the methods and techniques to fit their needs.
In the books, I cover all aspects of the camera making process; including lens selection, adapting my measurements for your needs, ground glass, making the acrylic inserts, brass-work, and more. 3D diagrams and color photos help you to visualize the process.
Diagrams within the body of the books are in inches; however, those same diagrams in mm are reprinted in the back of each book.
Books are spiral bound so they will lay flat on workbench tops. Printed on 60# paper with laminated cover. Typed print is larger than normal to ease reading from a distance in the woodshop.
