Title: Patent plans for Wet Plate Collodion Headrest
Post by: original_ann on December 23, 2012, 05:17:57 PM: This is wonderful. If you can find a local blacksmith or craftman, you may be able to have them create the perfect headrest. Look at photographer's Borut Peterlin's headrest and find the plans here:

Granted you'd need a pretty heavy base to prevent it from tipping over, but it definitely would work.
Plumbing steel pipe, plywood, cement and a few things here and there and you can be all set.

Forging... that's a whole different ballpark from what I'm used to do.

I'm not into antique stuff but I always appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the pieces they made.
