A Project for Tass

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

 From time to time people out there volunteer to do work for tass.  Here is 
a project that a lot of you could do.

I need lens caps for the tass cameras.  I have just not gotten around to 
making them.  What I thought of doing was to make a wooden form and dip it 
in the stuff you use to put a coating on tool handles.  I hope it comes in 
black.

Any one out there want to make a form, and dip it in the stuff to make 40 
lens caps?  OK, if you are a machinist and have an NC machine you could 
make them out of aluminum or something.  I will go for whatever works.

If you are poor and can't afford to buy stuff (i.e. you are a student or 
young father etc..) I will buy the stuff that you need.

The lenses are 4.48" OD.  I would make the caps 4.5"?  About 1" deep would 
be fine.

Any takers?

This just came up because I was trying to test MIKE and wished I had 
something better than black cloths because I want to test the motion and 
the cloths will drop off in the process, shining bright light on the CCDs.
