This is a short tutorial on how to measure your large format lenses, or any other accessories, you want to store within a Stone Photo Gear lens wrap. www.stonephotogear.com

I would recommend going to your local office supply store with a scanner tray in-hand to test for which one works best. There are lots of readymade options out there, and at varying price points based on your needs/looks/desires.

Using my Herman Schwabe 20ton clicker press to “click” out parts to make my lens cases. I have steel rule dies made to stamp out various parts that are used in larger quantities. It speeds up the process and ensures that from part to part, things remain the same. These BTS videos are to show you the various machines and processes I use to craft tailored gear here in the USA. Everything up until...

Please understand a price increase is not something I like doing. But costs of materials, costs of doing business (rent for my shop, electricity, etc) have gone up, plus lots of other things! www.stonephotogear.com

Part 2/2 Continuation of my BTS series. Hydraulic “clicker presses”: what are they and how do I use one in my shop? I hope these are helpful in showing some more about how I craft goods for y’all. I’ve reinvested the vast majority of all profits back into my business from the start. Sewing machines, infrastructure, better materials, more equipment and labor-saving devices to improve quality, et...

Here I show the process of edge binding the inside of a lens case. The machine type is a “cylinder arm”(referring to the cylindrical arm instead of a flatbed style machine). This style of machine works well for binding because it offers greater ability to maneuver the material/work while applying tape(binding) to the edges. This step is done to add an extra line or stitching to reinforce the se...

I recently added this machine to my shop, and it’s proven to be a very worthwhile investment. Heavy duty capability, Japanese attention to detail, a truly industrial machine.

Safety notice: blades are extremely sharp. Do not attempt to try this yourself if you have trouble handholding care blades, or are inexperienced with the tools shown in this tutorial. This method, while rudimentary and somewhat “basic”, has allowed me to use this single blade shown in the video, for well past a year, with nearly daily use(2-3hrs/day). Please exercise caution while performing th...

I have decided to keep this machine for now, so I've left this up as a reference for others who might need to know some more about this style of machine.

Camera demonstration and history behind its creation. This camera is currently for sale, as my equipment needs have changed and it’s time for it to go to a new home. I ship worldwide via UPS.

My method of using a seam ripper to pull out seams so they lay as flat as possible, and help deliver a more aesthetically pleasing product.
