Yo. Still here and lurking once in a while.
I've been busy rebuilding a Burke & James 4x5 Press film camera. The poor thing was kept in a basement left to rust. Learning quite a lot about painting aluminum - self etching primer is a thing. And how to construct a camera bellows - it's difficult to make a 1mm thick sandwich of a light opaque cloth, rib stiffeners, and an inner flock cloth.
