So...what's been going on? Shh... I'm hunting Jackalopes.

So...I received a Flickr Mail from a fellow Pentax 6X7 user "michaeljoeserra" who was in need of a right-hand-grip which is an illusive beast much like the "Jackalope" and as such, one needs to make one up.  I've made one before, a right hand grip not a Jackalope, and successfully used it and like it very much.  Michael said that he is going on a project and could use a right-hand-grip which I would totally understand.  Such a useful thing and why Pentax didn't bother to have one in their equipment line-up is a crime.  We know they thought of how useful as is why it's built-in on the P67IIs later.  So the rest of us will have to fend for ourselves and try to ensnare the magic beast, the Jackalope, to do our bidding.  Michael needs this before the end of May and I need to have a structure of time to complete a project instead of the usual endless un-ending projects.


Getting started...

Critical distance.  Why measure and make numbers when I can take a sample.





I'll not go into the details... cut metal... locate drill holes... drill.

More later...
