Show Us Your Camera

Matt, I am not sure why you want a plywood insert that will fix to the metal ring and turn. To my mind a better option would be to remove all the metal and fix a plywood sheet directly onto the wooden base of the camera.

Not so easily reversable if you wanted to use legs? The guy has five Sandersons and could have one base to work with all of them?
 
I have a reprint of a book from around 1901 on building cameras, I think it has something on making an adapter for those tripod rings.

It's online as a PDF, and the reprint is from that PDF (not vice versa). Took some finding "Paul H Hasluck", Photographic Cameras and Accessories, but alas it's the other way around the adapters are for using separate tripod legs with cameras with a 1/4" tripod socket.

A little lateral thinking is needed.
