chuck_mathis Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I've been lurking here for a couple of years waiting for a question I can answer! I traded into a Nue-Vue II way back in '83. I don't know that anyone other than Newton Photo Products has ever made boards specifically for the Nue-Vue. The metal boards are 4" x 4" - the same size as lensboard used on the Besler 23 and 45 series enlargers. I've also made my own using 1/4" birch plywood for this camera and my Burke and James 5x7.

ronald_moravec1 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Chuck is probably refering to thin plywood sold as aircraft plywood, 1/8 in thick and sold in hobby shops for model airplanes. Cut with a tool known as a razor knife or if you have a wood shop, you will know what to do. Stain if you want and seal both sides with clear finish to avoid warping.

chuck_mathis Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Actually Ronald I did use 1/4" but laminated two pieces for extra strength. Using a router table I thinned the edges to fit, used a block plane to chamfer one edge and used forstner bits in my drill press to bore the lens mount hole and recess for to collar. The 1/8" model aircraft plywood would be a better choice since you don't have to fiddle with thinning the edges and it generally has fewer voids than the junk you get at Home Depot or Lowes.

william_roberts4 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Actually I have a Nue View and found that the lensboard for this camera also fits my speed graphic. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
