A modification to my 35mm panoramic bamboo pinhole camera, to secure the back cover. Since I have no room to install my usual magnetic back plate method, I used two 5mm x 25mm long hex head bolts threaded into 8mm square basswood blocks. The blocks are epoxied into the camera body and the bolts protrude 8mm from the back.
Two holes drilled in the back cover plate allow it to fit over the bolts. The back is held in place with two 5mm acorn nuts.
Albertus is a typeface designed by Berthold Wolpe, a German Jewish designer, in the late 1930s. This decade was a period of great uncertainty and danger for Jews in Europe. Wolpe’s font was influenced by Rudolph Koch, his mentor, a prolific type designer and German nationalist. Koch’s influence is evident in the Albertus letterforms. With tapering ends and elegant strokes, the font reads similarly to one of Koch’s attempts to celebrate and modernize German blackletter.
In my typeface modification, showcased in the following spreads and posters, I explored the font’s quality of (and perhaps Wolpe's desire to) “fitting in” with its German influence and heritage. I took visual cues from the tapering ends and humanist strokes to exaggerate the gestures of the letterforms, creating a drastically different alphabet that breaks with the rigidity of its origins and forms something entirely new. I also use the spreads to examine Wolpe’s story and modern refugee narratives as they relate to Passover, a holiday with major resonance in Jewish history: the importance of fighting for freedom, resilience in the face of oppression, and the contrast between living in a place where you are not accepted as opposed to a place where you are welcomed.
The project is a printed book, but spreads and documentation are viewable at zachscheinfeld.com/Albertus-Modification
Midland Street looks brighter and more spacious following the demolition of the pub which stood at the junction with Eldon Street on the right here.
A grinder and that special bending tool were important tools. The bending tool I could have managed without but it was easy to use and perfect for this.
I decided to mess around a bit in Photoshop and 'pimp' my car. Changes include: lowering the car, darkening windows, larger wheel, changing the colour from grey to metallic red. If you wanto see whar the car originally looked like go see 'Car n the beach'

S.E.V. Marchal distributor. Citroen GS X2.
Modification to make adjustment of points simpler.
Cassette points are not set by gap, but by dwell angle. On early versions of the SEV Marchal distributor, adjustment was by removal of cap (and sometimes body, given its location) and to turn the thumbscrew a by clicks in either direction depending on dwell angle required. Later versions had a hole in the body in which a 3mm allen key was inserted making cap removal unnecessary.
Hole viewed from side without allen key.

SRT has released images of their new Viper badge. I find it too busy to be "read" at very small sizes, and a bit cartoony, so I did a slight redesign.
The ring that serves as diaphragm/light meter switch in the RC is too thin for my fingers, so I had this bolt screwed on it to serve me as a small handle for the ring, now setting aperture or selecting "A" is a breeze.
El anillo que sirve para seleccionar el diafragma o poner la cámara en posición "A" es demasiado fino para mis dedos, entonces coloqué este pequeño tornillo para que pueda mover el anillo con un solo dedo. Ahora determinar el diafragma o poner la cámara en automático es super fácil.
left side is the "before" version and the right side is after reshaping. Proof that SR seatposts don't have to be ugly!
