That looks great. Back in 2006 I posted this film development hanger which was bent to fit in an tray to develop four 4x5 negs at the same time.
After a while I became sufficiently proficient at tray developing that i don't need it anymore.

This is a great idea. I think I am going to make a 2x2 array to develop 4 at a time in my big print trays...
Not to hijack the thread further, but
Polypropolene peg board is nearly as inert and is more recyclable as #5 plastic. PVC is nearly never recyclable.
I think you should run for Senator! No President! Brilliant Idea you have here!

This is a similar do it yourself processing panel that can accommodate 4 sheets of 4x5 film. I was thinking of doing this myself because it only requires drilling 18 screw holes and 4 holes for solution to come threw. I'm not sure why he doesn't make it a swiss cheese pattern seeming you'd think that would make a more even development. Maybe it's only necessary to have one large hole for each film sheet? Great tray development gadgets.
Had me wondering too. If you try and develop a dozen sheets at one time you'll be busy.
I drop the film straight into the tray, agitating and interleaving by hand wearing latex gloves. With a pre-wet I don't have problems with sheets sticking together.
If you're developing one sheet at a time, your system would be handy in that you could agitate with tongs.
good luck
