Thanks very much for this great work, I have started assembling the bits.
I have a couple of ideas I would like to explore with it.
I have seen some stainless steel mixing bowls ( light weight) that seem to be the correct size and shape and come with a polished surface. They also have a flat base to cut the hole in. I might even go up a size to 15" or 17".
As for the hot spot in the lower section, I note that the flash head actually points slightly towards the inner face of the diffuser, and that will contribute to this effect; perhaps a business card or even a small piece of reflective aluminium placed in the flash head a la press photographers, might be the answer.
Any comments on these points appreciated - I will post my progress.
Thanks again for the great work.
