Our director wanted a stereoscope for The Rainmaker. Because of the budget it was decided that I would
make one. The pictures below are the process I used to make the viewer. The curved part is made of two layers
of posterboard glued together. I used a coat hangar for the metal holder and the rest is wood with one piece of metal
holding the card holder on. I trimmed it with a scrap of green velour we had. When it was finished I painted it
with oil paint so the posterboard would not warp.

The handle is made from a spindle that I saved from a broken chair.


The picture on the left is where the stereoscope lives on the set. I also sewed the rag doll in the basket that
I found at a garage sale. The stereoview card I made by printing out a card I found on Ebay then gluing it to a piece
of cardboard from a cereal box. Cereal boxes have great cardboard, plus they are free.
