Flash Diffuser

A friend asked for a box to diffuse the light from a flashgun, so one plywood box later we have a box that has a flashgun poking in from the back:

The flashgun is mounted on a hot shoe from a defunct camera, which is screwed via tapped holes into a machined aluminium plate, thence to a block of wood. The aluminum plate is to provide a good way to mount the old hot-shoe:

 

the flashgun is inserted into a hole in the back of the box, some light proofing may be required to all edges and gaps.
