I know these are quite rough, but they work.
The model V1 was for using Graflex-mounted lenses in Mentor Atelier 5x7" camera. I made a rough frame - I'm not joking: I really am that bad with woodworks - with terrible-looking locking method: just wires crossin all over the frames.
For the next model V2 I need to include the second phase for my FKD travel camera, which has 18x24cm film size, but only 124x124mm lens plate, while Mentor has 140x140mm plate. So far I have finished the first phase Graflex-->FKD
Here is my biggest Graflex-mounted lens Industar I-37 adapted to FKD lens plate (some of you may recognize the locking device):
I really hope I were more skillfull with hands and wood, but I will paint these black and insert some black velvet on contact trails...
My other Project is to build a 4x5 enlarger from Ernemann camera...

LOL you aren't joking! My skills are marginally better but the project you have seems quite interesting.

Does it work, are you pleased with the results ? If you are, consider it a succesful prototype.  And check out night classes in woodwork !  Well done for having a go though.
