The Dublin Hackerspace
Working on some plexy glass today taking the plexy and putting on side of bench you are able to heat up the side of it and then press down on it with piece of wood. This is shown in images below. What I did was took a piece of red plexy bigger than A4 and then measuring in few cm on each side bending over making sides. Then to fill in back and bottom just cut piece of see threw plexy and glued with super glue.

After going to Makerfair UK with a few people we got a chance to create these long long long exposure cameras made from Beer can and some photo paper Read more here
Sun photoed every day for 6 months and playing a little with the levels. Just put photo paper in a beer can and put a pin in it leave up for a few months and scan in photo.
We had some fun yesterday with pinhole cameras made from soft drinks cans. A bit of trial and error was order of the day. Exposures ranged from 5 seconds to 10 minutes.
We also recovered a long-term pinhole camera which has been mounted high-up in TOG’s yard, and exposing for several months. Unfortunately it got a bit wet inside at some point which damaged the paper slightly, but you can still clearly see the tracks of the sun and the outline of the roof. Check out the gallery soon for more pictures.
