ECS Valued Member Australia 64 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 7:34 pm Hi All, just thought I would share my works in progress of the copy stand I am building. i saw the other thread on trying to buy a copy stand for less than $100 so, using this as my goal, I thought I would try and make one. so far, the only things I have had to buy are the two lamps that where $10 each at bunnings. i have used the centre and head of a small tripod I had lying around from a cheep level with a laser on the end (i saw this on special at bunnings for $20 the other day) and some MDF sheet I had lying around. i thought the tripod centre would be good as it allows me to adjust the height of the camera which I will need when I add bellows. here are some quick pics!

NJ Bob Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 11:11 pm Nice. Try a stronger light source at 2:00 o'clock. This should give you more definition on the face of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
