After having made a number of bellows for myself, I wrote up a simple 2
page handout for my classes on constructing bellows. I'll be happy to make
copies for anyone wishing to give it a try. Just send me an SASE. If your
e-mail account can handle it, I can scan it in and send as a file (it has
some diagrams). It's not hard, but does take three hands. Easier route if
you just want bellows for a home-made camera is to call up Universal
Bellows and have them make you one.
