So at this point you should have a pretty good understanding of how to get a pinhole, how to measure it, how to determine the focal length for that pinhole, and the image diameter for that focal length.But, as Lomography rightly points out, the Konstruktor wouldn't be much fun if it were too easy to build.

Cocking the shutter to reset the mirror, which on our camera build took several attempts each time for some reason and seemed to respond better to a thumb flick rather than a definite press, followed by a press down on the shutter release button to take a shot, we found the shutter ‘action’ a little softer than we would have liked. Mine did not include a screwdriver, however, so I used a regular precision screwdriver and had no trouble at all.
