Bellows Materials Info Help:

1) I am building several 5 X 7 View cameras
for Stereo Photography. If interested, I will
pass on what I discover.

2) A friend who wholesales fabrics tells me
that there are over 10,000 different materials
commonly used in clothing, manufacturing,
etc. She is going to shorten the list for me,
based upon materials suitable for the
requirements of a Bellows maker. I will report
what I learned.

3) I found (and lost) the URL of a site that
offers a complete tutorial on Bellows Making. I
saw it a while ago and it looked easy. I will find
and post the URL if it might be of interest.

4) I found a brief blurb that mentioned
Chamois Leather bonded to a black silk layer
and then somehow treated works. I will post
this if of interest.

5) I might provide materials at cost if I find
some useful info. Not in it for a buck, perhaps
we could order in bulk. Whatever.
