I took some bunjee cords that I had around the house (they were pretty flat type bunjee cords) and inserted it through the pvc tubing by attaching one end of the cord to a piece of string (pushing the bunjee by itself was impossible) so that it could be pulled through.

Once I had the first piece of tubing threaded with the bunjee I had my wife pull on the bunjee so that it would be taught and I drilled a hole through the pvc tubing and through the bunjee cord. I then inserted a small nut and bolt through the hole to keep it in place. I then threaded the rest of the corner and tubing and then fastened it the same as before on the other end.

My setup breaks down into two pieces (front and back).

Does that make any sense?

merideth -

hmm…sort of. I can’t visualize how the pieces connect together. Any chance of seeing a couple more photos? See what happens when you have a great idea? People like me bug you for details. 🙂

Interestingly enough, I just stumbled on this similar post from a photographer in Grand Marais.

He recently had some stickers printed up and when I saw three blank pint glasses at Goodwill, well it seemed like just the reason to set up the light box.
