The removable guide pins during loading is a clever approach. Guiding film around the fixed guide pins of other cameras has been frustrating for me. Thanks for the videos, I imagine writing those instructions out clearly would be a challenge in itself.
The two shutters are used for correcting horizon curvature. It's the same concept used in large format cameras where you can use "rise" and "fall" to upper or lower the lens on the front standard to straighten the lines or for creative effects. If your horizon is on the upper third of the frame as you compose your image, use the lower shutter. The other way round for horizons on the lower third of the image. If you don't do this with pinhole cameras (because there is no lens that could correct for this behaviour), you'll have curved horizontal lines for example in the middle, where the horizon would be.

👌🏻Beautifully made. And clever too. 👏🏻
Both beautiful and brilliant!! Love it :-)
Looks great! Can’t wait to test mine :)
