you will notice im going to use 3 boxes for this camera 2 full ones and the cover from a third.
the box we choose to be the back will have the inside laid into the cover to form a tray.
the we drop the bellows into the tray and mark around the inside with a pen this give us the line to cut on and leaves a shelf to glue the bellows to.
be very particular when cutting out this section because any rough edges will show in your pictures.
next the front of the camera in the very center of the lid cut out a hole dont make it too big because you have to cover it with the pinhole a 1 inch square should do it..
turn this box over then cut a larger hole on the other side it should be at least 1 inch smaller than the end of the bellows that will glue there.
since like me you will probably use a box cutter for this be very careful not to cut yourself and bleed all over the camera.
now onto the joining
