Status update

I've been working on getting the DIY Custom Camera Bellows Kit ready for sale. This work includes writing the illustrated instructions, creating the custom CAD software for designing the bellows, updating the website, etc. I'm am almost done so the kits should be available soon.

It took me longer then I anticipated because I decided that the initial limitations that the first version of the CAD program imposed were not acceptable. At this point we should be able to handle creating a kit for almost any camera. The remaining limitations will be included in the product description once it's enabled.

Thank you for your patience!

Starting small, first kit (4x5 Ground Glass Kit) is now available for sale!

The first kit is now available for sale here : www.diycamerakit.com. It's a kit for grinding 2 sheets of 4x5 ground glass for a 4x5 camera. The kits costs $14, which means you are getting a 4x5 ground glass for $7.

More ground glass kits will be available soon (single 4x5 sheet, single 8x10 sheet and possibly some other).

This is a trial run, there are only 8 kits available, so if you need to replace your ground glass, act now ;-)
