Has anyone built either a set of tubes or some kind of enclosed tank to process 8x10? I don't have a darkroom or access to one so I need something that can be loaded in a darkbag & then processed in the light. Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Look around for "BTZS tubes". You can make such things out of 3 inch black ABS plastic pipe. 8x10 is hard to process without a darkroom, but you could probably put trays in a bathtub if you can make a bathroom sufficiently dark. My back hurts just thinking about processing 8x10 in a bathtub though. Showin' my age...
