RE: [Cameramakers] Base for tripod

. Jake Boen -- Original Message -- I need a piece of metal of about 1/8 thick, 10-12 square with a 3/8 female thread, to serve as the tripod base on a very large camera (about 35 lbs). Is there anything available commercially like this? Any ideas about fabricating one? Sandy King

The only ones I've found and have worked great are at www.leevalley.com item numbers 05E04.05 for 5/8 and 05E04.03 for 1/2 http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.asp?page=40277category=3,44004,44007abspage=1ccurrency=2SID= enjoy, Jake Boen -- Original Message -- I'm making a wood 4x5 field

RE: [Cameramakers] Re: ground glass

The abrasive should be in a powder format, not sandpaper. Place a few drops of water and abrasive between two pieces of glass and rub the surfaces together in a random orbit. The abrasive can be purchased at your local lapadary store (jewerly supply). 500 grit works fine as well. 1/2 a pound
