Attach the lens...?

[jet49]

I've searched for this topic and can't find anything......

I've got a projection lens (the kind that once belonged in a commercial projector or slide machine). I've looked at the diagrams in the forum but can't tell how you attach the lens. Any suggestions for a novice?

MANY thanks!

where to attach the lens....?

I'm trying to build a projector like the pics that Trev has posted in the forum. I want to mount the lens on the right end of the front....I'm planning to build it out of a light-weight wood unless somebody has a better suggestion?

Thanks

i think i'll make mine with aluminium
you can use altuglas or thin metal sheet or you can use a pc box ( you have the power supply inside)

i'm using MDF for the encloser/lense mount ect

i picked up a hole cutter from canadian tire, its like a small chisel that which rotates about the axis which you put in a drill press. i cut two holes, one the size of the lense which was only 3/16" deep, the other about 2 mm smaller which when through the wood. then i placed the lense in and glue 8 spots around the edge to keep it from falling out.
