 ====== Book Scanner ======
-I've acquired two duplicate point and shoot cameras and thought building a book scanner would be an interesting use of them.
+A DIY Book Scanner can be used to digitize books.
 For background see this: http://www.diybookscanner.org/
-Anyone else interested?
+They think every hackerspace should have one. So let's build one.
+**TO DO:**
+    * Choose a [[http://www.diybookscanner.org/wiki/index.php?title=Scanner_build_list|design]] or design our own
+    * Assemble the materials
+      * (We have two matching Kodak EasyShare C1450 cameras already)
+      * Materials needed will be determined by the design, but will probably include:
+          * Lights (I have some clamp-lights, need bulbs --Ron)
+          * Wood
+          * Misc. Hardware (Check the stuff we got from Ace)
+          * Glass (plexiglass/high-strength glass/gorilla glass)
+          * Power strip (we have lots of these)
+    * Build it
+    * Choose software
+    * Test it
+    * Scan books!

+===== Notes/Discussion =====
+We should consider using "high strength" glass instead of plexiglass. ("High Strength" usually means it's thicker). There's also a long thread on "gorilla glass" here: http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=440
+Also: consider using high-grade plywood instead of MDF (Check both Home Depot and Menards)
+I'm all for using higher-grade materials, as long as it doesn't make the project cost-prohibitive.  --- //[[pete@rasterweb.net|Pete Prodoehl]] 2011/12/09 12:09//

+Spreadsheet with bill of materials: http://diybookscanner.org/forum/download/file.php?id=973
+Here's an interesting new design, with files we may be able to cut on the CNC Router: http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1192  --- //[[pete@rasterweb.net|Pete Prodoehl]] 2011/12/10 12:21//
+Worth nothing, Ron has built a working book scanner and is now testing software. He's found some things that could use improvement, but it's definitely progress!  --- //[[pete@rasterweb.net|Pete Prodoehl]] 2012/01/15 10:52//
