Wooden Toy Camera

Hello everyone!

In this instructable I will show you guys how you can make a wooden toy camera!

It's very simple and fun to do!

You can watch the video over here:

For the body you'll need:

- Beech wood:

1x: Thickness 3.6cm - Width 1.6cm

1x: Thickness 3.6 cm - Width 1.3cm

- Pine wood:

1x: Thickness 3.6cm - Width 4cm

If you use a longer piece of wood, you can make more cameras from the same lumber.

Glue your lumber together and put some clamps on it.

Your cameras will be 13cm long.

Round over all the edges of the camera on the router. Don't do it like me, and use a routertable.

Drill a horizontal peekhole in the body.

And sand it all smooth!

Drill a 2cm thick lens. Use 2 different diameter holesaws to create the effect of a lense. First drill the small one, and then the larger one. Glue them onto the body of the camera. For a better effect of the lens you can sand down the outer ring a little bit.

For the button you'll need a piece of wood like this:

Length: 1.7cm - Width: 1.4cm - Thickness 0.8cm

After sanding it glue it onto the body and you are ready to take pictures! :)
