And of course, if your house has iron drain pipes, the toilet adjacent to the darkroom could have a very big lead insert in the drain, from just under the bee's wax ring. Those lead insert are...

One guy published some variations a while ago.
1. For tool, use a piece of wood stuck to the glass tool with strong 3M dual side tape. It is about 1.5mm thick and its foamy so it will stick even...
Even cheaper than a glass seller but maybe not as cheap as cupcake storage containers : drop by any Renaissance or Armée du Salut store and pick up a few frames, with or without pictures most will...
Thanks for posting !
25 minutes well spent. Thanks !
The reason I mentioned old photo paper is that the back, if printed with Kodak or whatever paper producer name, will show this in a typeset that fits the era. Thanks for the reminder about deckle...
Some really old photographic paper for your contact prints will carry you quite far in the illusion.
"Borosilicate glass plates" are available on the auction site (to be used as bed plates for 3d printers). Personally have just used real thin glass from cheap photo frame because I had not though to...
Steve,
Thanks for the graphite hint.
As for the comparisons, hum... Just about any mechanical watch is way more delicate (did not say complex) than this shutter and if I could hold my 100$...
I am offered for essentially nothing a Vertical Vic VV-1418 Enlarger (missing lens and vacuum) which I believe is really a camera, as well as a Diffusion Transfer Processor P1400.

Just open it up. The fact that you are handy (and adventurous) implies that your are qualified, provided you exercise care in disassembly and that you take pictures from various angles as you...
Image do look nice on youtube. Nice that you will be opening your darkroom to visitor. Maybe it will stir up further interest :-) !!!
In that respect, in a totally different field, I am always...
Same here ! I don't believe he has any chance to achieve "high volume" but I guess CNC cutting of plexiglass could be very appropriate to the volume he his looking at.
It really depend on the extent of the dent : I am threading steel pipe section of a smaller diameter than the internal diameter and then, banging on that piece to straighten the thread (also have...

Thanks John ! That would make sense.
Believe the bellow is glued so will wait to see first if I can effectively patch it. If so, will check out dog collars as well as pre-made leather handles.
If I was to make one, I would use the weigh of the subject on the chair : Just like in the picture, The "bracing" system would be attached to the back of a light weigh chair (in the picture, the...
My 8x10 Agfa Ansco has the serial number under the hinge (you have to remove remove all the screws holding the hinge on the short block to see it) : 2703. Found this camera at the Montreal Camera...
Thanks Steven and Jim. Never thought I would have to check aperture rings as well as shutter speed (on a barrel lens anyway).
Solution to the f12.5 puzzle is as follows :
On the f12.5...
Welcome - from a newcomer as well !
I am the proud new owner of two Wollensak 159mm Wide Angle lenses for 8x10 :

Thank you for the wonderful images and all the detailed explanations in the video.
Have you given any thoughts about formulating/using any sort of replacement for developper, bleach and fix...
What a path... Lets there be followers !
On the Burke and James, bellow is glued and therefore not removable without destroying it. It seems there is not enough clearance in the front standard for the frame to be "twisted" out even if I...
Read the work by Kevin Bourque and tried to contact him but it seems that his email no longer works and this is probably of interest to a few others so...
I want to clean and fix a B&J 8x10 and I...
I believe that West Epoxies was supplying graphite as an additive to make, among other things, fibreglass based rudder bushings for sailboats. Should still be available. I would guess that...
I have an open can of the "dip it" product on hand. Worth giving it a try... Actually, will work as long as the bellow corners are not torn open.
You can also check your private mail :-)
I am in the process of completing a few replacement blades for an old pneumatic Wollensak shutter (holding a Conley variable soft focus lens). In this particular case, one end of the blade is simply...
Custom declaration is a green large stamp sized sticker that will be stuck to the box at the post office - most easy to fill out. USPS will save your customer custom clearing fees that he would be...

Bienvenue Lionel !

I also find these stories and pictures fascinating, even though I am somewhat remote from that way of life (my closest encounters with the wild West were watching "the Grand Chaparral" and a visit a...

Off course, I understand the 3005 drum has demonstrated an unequal degree of perfection and I certainly don't reject the idea of finding one at a cost I could justify (as compared to tray...
Reflecting on my turbulence induced uneven development in my big Chromega Drum (4 8x10 sheets) AND looking at Jobo 3005 pictures, it just dawned on me that instead of using those long sliding lengths...
