I saw this DIY Ring Flash on Strobist and thought I'd share it here for anyone ambitious enough to try it. Before you start outfitting your workshop to fashion one yourself, it's worth mentioning that the party responsible, one "Motley Pixel," appears to have abandonned it in favor of a first-party twin flash set-up (as evidenced by his Flickr photostream).
