How to make a cable release shutter for your pinhole camera

You can make a cable release shutter for your pinhole camera with a few things you probably have lying around the house.
Using a cable release on your pinhole camera makes exposure times easier to control and also reduces vibrations when opening the shutter, so your pictures will be sharper. Now I only need to test if the whole thing is light-proof. :)

You will need:
-cutter and scissors 
-electrical tape, sello tape
-metal ruler
-super glue
-a piece of balsa wood ( I used some canvas stretcher I had at home, I guess you could use two popsicle sticks glued together and cut to the right size)
-an old floppy disc (the ones with metal are better)
-a cable release (I got mine on Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po for 5 HK$)

things you need to make a cable release shutter

1. Cut the disc. Using the metal ruler cut the floppy disc. Cut through the plastic a few times on both sides then break off the lower part.
