There are mainly 2 kinds of Afghan Box Camera/ Street Box Camera:
1. Internal Focus
2. External focus using a folding camera

In this video, I will share how I built the 2nd kind of camera (check out my other videos on the first kind). I made use of a Kodak Recomar 33 9x12cm camera. I wasn't able to capture every single stage of the build so do leave me a comment if you have any questions.
