: I need to remove the bellows from my Speed. I removed

I looked again at the back of my bellows, and it looks
like the edge of the material is nailed and glued
into a frame which is pretty permanently mounted
into the camera. I just know I'm missing something.
This is a Navy Speed Graphic from the early 40's
I think. It has a graflex back. I need to remove
the bellows to mount a huge lens which won't fit
inside it. Do I just cut it off? I was hoping to
save it since it is in pretty good shape.

off?
