Made a wooden grip for my Pentax K1000 out of colored pencils

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments! I'm glad you all like it so much. And from such a talented and creative group, it means even more

How does it attach to the K1000 body?

It screws in the bottom into the tripod mount. I'm glad you asked, because I just realized I never actually showed it in the video. I added a picture to my original post if you want a reference.

Can you make one for the KP? 😀

The original idea to make a wood grip for a DSLR (in my case a K-1, as if that camera can get any larger) is still in the back of my mind, but I haven't come up with a good, least destructive way yet. Also, I need real tools xD.

But yes, on my mind...

Okay, put me down in the "not everyone" category, but your creativity and the video are freakin' awesome. Well done!

Glad someone can be honest

Thanks for the boost of positivity. I appreciate it.

Ingenious. Retouch your negatives simply by handling your camera!

This took me a second, and then made me chuckle out loud.

That is crazy/awesome!

Only downside I can see to this is releasing a lot of microplastics into the environment (at the sanding stage).
Apart from that, it looks a nice DIY project.
