Re: Woeka's build
I like very much the "slider" design. How much vertical space doe it give you? Is it enough to turn pages?
Another doubt: won't the larg triangular pieces of wood cast some shadow on the book?
Where are you going to place the cameras?

Re: Woeka's build
It gives me about 30 cm of vertical space, which should be enough to turn the page.
I'm planning to put the cameras and lighting on the platen itself, so there would be no shadows.
