My new pinhole camera

For any reasonably competent DIYer this would be counted as amateurish and laughable, especially with the time it took to make.  But here it is.

 

After 9 months of try outs with various types of wood.  Learning their characteristics and opting finally for simple plywood.  I finally have a pinhole camera that accepts 5*7 darkslides.  This now enables me to take several pictures without running back home to load new paper.  It was worth the effort.

Yes, the intention was to dovetail the joints, but I am no carpenter (plywood just splinters and oak is very brittle) and I finally decided the priority was 'make the camera' not make it look beautiful.  It turns out that it is strong enough as is, since I have dropped it a couple of time with no breakages.
