Lovely images...thought I'd add two more shots (Canham DLC with 90mm f/8 Schneider Super Angulon) Summer... Winter...

Took a wrong turn outside of Ouray, the road became progressively worse, ended up at the top of California Pass (SW Colorado, 13K ft.)

What everyone else already wrote... Preferably, you want the inside surface of the groundglass (the focus plane) at the same point as the emulsion side of the sheet film (the film plane) when in the film holder and inserted into the camera back. It's easy to measure the relative locations of both planes using a depth micrometer with the back removed from the camera. Assuming all your film holders are the same, the film plane should be at the same depth when loaded into every holder. Use the depth micrometer to first measure the film plane location with a loaded holder inserted into the back. After establishing the position of the film plane, use the depth micrometer to determine and adjust the position of the groundglass in the back, either by adding shims or removing a bit of material (wood?) from the back's frame, to position the focus plane at the same point as the film plane.
