bracket pre-painting

This illustrates the way the new bracket will hold the Ricoh CA-1. You can see that the bracket is pretty beat up. That's because I made it by using the piece of the stage that I had cut off with a hacksaw to make it. First I flattened it (mostly) with a pair of small sledge hammers, then I used a small vice as a bending brake. It's not pretty, but it worked.
