I made my conversion out of plywood which also makes a relatively lightweight camera.
The weight is acceptable for a 4x5" camera.
I focus & shoot with my left hand holding the camera grip on the left; my right hand on the focusing knob/shutter; my right shoulder supporting the camera from its bottom.
And, if anybody wants a copy of Dean Jones original "Bi-Polaroid disorder CD" about Polaroid camera conversions, I've put mine for sale along my own little work, showing how and what I did to convert my 110B: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230103839947
