Does any one know precisley how to make a ground glass for a 4 X 5 box camera? If so what type of abrassive, grit and air pressure to use when blasting the glass?
I was talking to one of my MASTER TEACHERS (Sam Welch) whom I had a brief opportunity to study under too many moons ago. Sam taught me to do picture transfers using the technique taught in Meeks Book on Engraving. Anyway, In the conversation Sam told me about using a photo enlarger to do transfers instead of a box camera. All you need to do is put a ground glass on the back of the enlarger and away you go.
At that point I told him of how I had figured out a way to put my microscope behind my box camera to improve my vision when scribing a transparency. So, I just bought a photo enlarger off of Ebay and now I need a ground glass. I have found them on ebay for about 20 bucks, but if I can make one easily, I will.
All that brings us back to the origional question of how to make a ground glass?
Does any one Know, your help would be appreicated.
