Where's the moon?
I will say that I priced mine to sell sooner rather than wait for what would be a more realistic price or taking a chance on ebay and paying their fees.
The Processor and Expert tanks are sale...
I thought I priced my Jobo kit very competitively :p
This is one of the things I will miss most about giving up large format photography. The prints I received from both sets of last years Folio Exchange I was involved in are very precious to me.
Just my two-penneth, the easiest way to open a drum without a pump is to run the edge of the lid under a very hot tap slowly for 3 rotations, then gently lift the edges of the lid and it will come...
I use these on my table saw, ebay item #371122312933 you must have something similar in the US. They do not last as long as the metal versions but I just replace them every couple of years but they...
Good article Sandy, as you know I have been a 2 bath Pyrocat HD/C convert for 18 months or so, suits me and I won't be changing from it anytime soon. I do have the occasional relapse to Caffenol CL...

I think Monsta is assuming you have an orbital rather than rotary unit. I have a brand new Paterson autocolortherm you can have if you know anyone coming down to the Westcountry, probably a bit too...
Can you make a small 3/4" frame around the inside of the window, just far enough away from the window to ensure that any handles/locks are window side of the frame?
If so, cut a piece of 1/4" or...
Good luck with your plan Vaughn, I started thinking it would take a couple of weeks and it ended up taking about 3 Months (mainly due to my having to go up a ladder to plumb in the waste pipes and...
I just noticed I left a couple of expert drum lids next to the film fridge. So not that neat after all :)
Tissue Making and Transfer station, this is perfectly flat and I use 1.5mm strips of wetted Acrylic sheet to make the frames for my tissues. There is also another sheet of 12mm Float Glass which...
End of sink inside door with storage above and trays stacked for use. Just inside the door is a humidity meter and thermometer:

I have almost finished my Darkroom(film)/Dimroom, all that is now left to do is to reinstate my 950nm IR lighting, this will need a little moving around as the shelving for chemicals and equipment...
Steve, that was the advantage of riveting the two boards, as the rivets compressed the foam between the two boards when they were fitted. The foam I used was about 5mm wide by 3mm thick and you could...
Hi Steve, as it was me that suggested the adaption I will say that it's very easy to do and works really well.
The hard part for you will be getting the hole bored out to a useable size, on a...
Not posted much lately, been a bit busy converting the darkroom to a more Carbon based structure.
Sink now fully plumbed in, with 3 sets of hot and cold (one as a mixer) and an additional cold for...
I spent a couple of days earlier this month on my first trip to North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park, even though I live next to and work within the Dartmoor National Park I was blown away by...
or sulphate or sulphite even
I use divided Pyrocat HD/C on a Jobo CPP2 in an expert drum, I don't know how the divided developer works to give a compensating effect but it definitely does.
I use some Lee filters (Grads & ND) but also use Hitech filters for Monochrome Contrast (red, green, yellow and orange). They are 100mm versions but I have adapted them to 125mm using Black...
Yep, looks like mine.
If anyone needs Ammonium Dichromate in the UK, there is some available on ebay at the moment. I bought 5kgs yesterday.
I collected my package of prints this morning from the Sorting Office, I had to collect as I had to pay £20 ($32) Customs and Handling Fees :(
On the other hand, it is a beautiful collection of...
Keep at it.
I am like yourself a novice in the Carbon Printing game, but find it really rewarding knowing that I have created from scratch the final medium that my image will be displayed on. I am...
Adox 25 at 25. Weather was awful, thick mist with heavy drizzle.
Thank Vaughn, to date I have only had one print that has an issue and that was the forerunner to the image posted above where...
Latest attempt today from 8 exposures made on the North Welsh Mountains. I liked the fact that the weather was awful (Heavy Mist & Rain) along with the ruins of some very old dwellings and then...
I love Adox CHS 25 and cannot seem to do much wrong with it, plus it has a great reciprocity characteristics, I mourn its passing although I have managed to squirrel away a few hundred sheets of 5x7....
Got a load of them Rod, not suitable as they come, I have not tried twisting them through 90 degrees though, may have a go at that later.
I was quite surprised at the review of the Tripod, I have a Gitzo GT2530Lvl (3 section CF) which has a Benro PC1 panoramic head below a Manfrotto 410 head.
Personally, I find the tripod both easy...
And replied to.
Looks like Tim is going to sort me out, many thanks Tim.
I will also have a look at ordering some of the Ikea clips to see what they are like on the dryer, it will depend though...
Thanks for the info Bob, but, I don't want them, I already have dozens of standard film clips (of many different varieties including quite a few of the Kaiser ones suggested) but the only ones I want...
Thanks for the info, I've tried those tips and others and I prefer the B&H clips married along with a Kodak clip, together they make the perfect clip for my drying cabinet. I already have 10, but...
I would like to order a pack of B&H's Delta Film Clips, These if someone could pick up a pack and ship in a small jiffy to the UK I would be very grateful, the cost of shipping alone from B&H to the...
As one who is just starting down the Carbon Printing road (and so taken with it I am converting my darkroom to solely Carbon Printing and selling off my four enlargers) I have been buying up stocks...
Why would that give you more movements than a 4x5 camera with good movements? The 4x5 back would just be in the middle of where the 5x7 frame would be, you can't offset it to get the effect of more...
I would have asked if the sheets were on a thinner base, but as a first time user you probably wouldn't know. Its possible the boxes are filled by weight and if there are any changes to the base or...
I struggled at times with tilting to get a desired plane of focus until I watched the Fred Newman video on youtube here , it may not be everybody's way of doing it but it worked for me as I have both...
Thanks all for the comments and suggestions.
