Thread: Lets See Your Darkroom

    Re: Lets See Your Darkroom

    Here is my powder room with table and sink on rollers. Next step is to tap into the water supply at the existing sink. There is not much room to move around.

    This will be good. Better than on your knees in front of the bathtub. That was my first go at a darkroom.

    Enjoy.

    Not much new here. Just that I have the Durst setup for 4x5 printing right now. I had always done 4x5 on my 4x5 enlargers, but I'm testing some new-manufacture reflectors and see how the dichroic coating will hold up. My prior reflectors were showing age and I did not want to use them any more than I needed to do my 8x10 printing.

    I guess this is pretty important but I don't want to even think of it...wife wants to move. I have had this same darkroom for 18 years. Maybe the next one will be the ultimate. Though, wife said, can't you put that thing in the garage of the new house Click image for larger version.

    The wife wants to move and you and the darkroom don’t. So let her move. Don’t see a problem.

    I had a darkroom like that size/shape when I was in high school and it served very well! It had a piece of counter connecting to the sink. Put my enlarger on the left by the door, and paper made it's way clockwise to the sink. When not printing, it was a dry area to bulk load film, load up the processing tanks, etc..

    My Dad helped me make my first darkroom using corrugated cardboard boxes for walls. It was in the corner of my boyhood home, where the coal was stored, damp, dark, cold basement. We eventually put up hard board walls, salvage plumbing, sink was a Rubbermaid dish washing pan, drilled a hole in the bottom, ran a garden hose to a floor drain. I did a lot of work in there. Now I have quite a setup. I still got a lot done in that tiny space.

    I just need to build mine, but kids suck it right out of you. I probably should move to a smaller house, but I think the payment would be higher since interests have almost doubled from what I got my home at. To bad we can't postpone getting old.

    Funny as mine will be in the garage someday! ps, I hate moving, more crap than a junkyard and wife never wants to throw anything away.
