Do it yourself??

[poker]

Has anyone posted or is there a collection of information about making your own studio equipment?

Has anyone made there own:
reflector
dome
shooting tent
muslin
stands

It would be nice to have a section or sticky where we can read about making something out of simple items to save a dollar (or pound) on photographic accessories.

Here are a few I found. It is worth a bookmark:

Hi Manacsa

I have been clamping a piece of black fabric to my girls bunk beds lately. I think it's much safer than having my back drop support set up when I have two babies running around.
I have Tungsten lights too but I very rarely use them now. It's such a pain setting them up then having to put them away again. Plus they get so hot!

You might wanna take a look at my image today to see the results you can get from just window light. I have written all the details with my post.
