Making a light tight paper holder fot the box camera. #afghanboxcamera #papersafe #papernegative #MastoArt #cameramaking

Update to the making of an #afghanboxcamera out of an old #chinesemoneybox : I made a film gate and focus rails.
The the ground glass aka focusing screen that will be mounted in the “film gate” will hold the paper negatives flat during exposure.

Meanwhile, another project emerges. I found an antique Chinese money box, perfect to make an box camera out of, with a built in dark room to develop the photo paper in. I have a nice 1905 brass barrel lens for it.
Step 1: making the box light tight. The bottom of this case has been replace once, but that wood had since shrunk. I widened the gaps on a table saw so I could slide wood in it.
