Hi all,
Well i thought projects would start in the spring but a urgent plea for help from a friend has changed this.
I need to make a photographic light box that can be collapsible using various old scrapes of wood and a old laminated cupboard, don't laugh! It will have a base, back, two sides and a top, now the trick is is to have it so you can use it with the back and one side on, the back, top and another side etc etc apparently.
Now lots of details don't matter here, my problem is the basic frame and how to fix it so it comes apart easily preferably without tools, the bottom of the frames / panels can be located with dowels so that's cool, same for the top into the top of the sides and back panel, my problem is thinking of a cheap way to fix the top corners, say if you want to use the back and one side only, cunning plans anyone?! I'm currently at nails in each piece and a elastic band!
Brief is cheap and practical, friend says all will be covered with white paint and it's what happens inside that's important.
Thanks!
Dean
