Re: [OT] Slide scanner

[Stuart Grimshaw <stuart.grimshaw@xxxxxxxxx>]

These are quite easy to make with two mirrors. The kind ladies use in
hand bags should do fine.

To make it a bit more manly, use gaffer tape to join them together so
they can be folded closed, with the mirrors facing each other, then
with the mirrors at approx 45 degrees block off the two open sides
with some plastic, again gaffer tape comes in usefull to stick the
together.

Simply plonk the construction on top of the slide and scan away ...
getting the slide straight is your main problem here ...
