    I like the book press and the print driers. I know it's sacrilege to use a belt drier, I've been doing it for 35 years with no troubles. Looks likes a fun place to work. Mike

    I can prepared a hundreds of 11x14 papers in a couple of hours, after acidification and drying the paper is twisted a tour in drier belt and is now plat, a tour after sizing and it's perfec for work !

    Thanks Luis! That sounds right. I bought a 5018 wall mount so bracket mounting height will set everything. I suppose mounting higher might not hurt for larger prints (last owner had it higher).

    Re: Lets See Your Darkroom

    Okay, Here's the latest on the darkroom build. I FINALLY got an electrician out here to redo my service and run a line over to the darkroom building. I bought a strange desk off Craigslist and modified it to serve as a enlarger table. I figured out that I had to get the enlarger table in before I built the sink. Found out the A/C unit that came with the building works-man does it work!Click image for larger version.

    I used to have a desk like that. In case you do not know it would hold a typewriter inside.

    Ron,

    Is correct, it is a typewriter desk.

    Yeah, the typewriter table part has holes where they bolted the typewriter to it.

    Re: Lets See Your Darkroom

    Okay, finally got the sink finished and the base made and got it into the darkroom! ( man, what a job to get the base in there !) The sink is 3/4 plywood and 1" by 4" sides of high grade "select" wood covered with 3 coats of Rustolum truck bed liner paint. I made a prototype some years back and it works just fine. It's 2 feet by 8 feet on the outside.


    The base is made of 2 "boarding buggies" from an abandoned sock mill that I cut down and had welded end to end and stacked pressure treated 2" by 4's to act as feet and raise it up a bit.

    And before ya'll ask...a boarding buggy is used in sock mills to take socks that have been washed, dried and pressed in a boarding machine and folded over to the packaging department.Click image for larger version.

    Okay, here's the latest update. The Duplicolor bedliner paint I sprayed on the counter never seemed to fully dry and was somewhat tacky to the touch. I finally got some self-stick floor tiles and covered it with them.Click image for larger version.

    I'm not doing much in there as I've pulled a muscle in my left arm and I don't want to tear it up any more than I already have.
