This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I've down loaded mine!

Somebody should move this to the General Photography thread.

Neat stuff!
Probably never get around to trying it but interesting anyway.

I've already printed mine out. It's been a little trickier than I first imagined.

Even though the template would easily fit on a regular sheet of paper, I can't seem to figure out how to adjust my margins on the Acrobat file to get it to print out the entire 2nd page. I finally got a sheet that was only missing about 1/2", and I was able to draw in the missing bits. If you don't print it the right size then a 35mm cassette won't fit.

So then I started cutting it out with an X-acto knife. There are some complicated pieces here, and the assembly instructions in English aren't making much more sense than the ones in Czech.

Well, I have mine half cut out, and I've managed to find my roll of gaffer tape, so I'll try to figure it out.

Wow, that looks really tricky. Will have to try it out one of these days tho. Let us know how yours comes out Matt!
