The test bellows folded perfectly!

Last night I generated the patterns for my "guinea pig" camera and assembled the bellows. I didn't use the real cover material but rather some thin cotton, as I just wanted to test the geometry. The geometry came out perfect (in the picture the test bellows appears bigger but it's the just angle of view, the bellows has the proper dimensions), so the next step is to build the actual bellows with the proper bellows materials. This process will also be use to document the construction, both with still pictures and with video, media which will be used to augment the written assembly instructions.
