How to make a pinhole camera?

Well I'm trying to make a pinhole camera. Not too big or not too small in size. And I'm not gonna build it with some can or anything. I wanna make it look like an actual camera(out of hardboards). Any suggestions on how I should start and where I have to be extra careful while making it. Thank you. (Would like to see some design ideas too)

Thanks for posting that.

I like using this calculator to determine dimensions http://www.mrpinhole.com/calcpinh.php

Seconded! I teach a pinhole course at a local university and THIS is what we use.
