The format indeed is everything else than large; however my LF workflow is quite similar :)

Hand Crafted Beauty.... really nice looking darkroom space... You have all the angles covered from camera to framed print... this is what its all about IMO... well done.
Great video! Interesting to see one of those RH Designs units in action.
Yep nicely done.
Lovely workspace. Especially like the big windows and natural light. Has my cave beat. The process is much the same as mine save for a couple diversions. All my wet process takes place in a big sink. I'm not fastidious enough to not slop chemistry all over. Need a confined space that I can hose down. And I don't dry mount anymore. Did that for years until a friend at a museum suggested I mount prints in archival corners so the print isn't forever married to a board. That's what I do now. While doing research of Edward Weston prints at the Eastman House many years ago I was struck by how much pencil information was on the backs of prints. All that would be lost in dry mounting. I suppose the decision to dry mount or not depends on intention and end use.
Fine video though.
Music is like a half dozen cups of coffee - how about something more relaxed?
You put "retouch" rather than "spotting print" - why?
Other than that, nicely done.
What material for the window blackout panels?
@all: Thanks for the feedback!
I wish I'd have such a big sink. I guess it's hard to find one ;)Quote:

The backsplash is six inches deep to allow for plumbing and custom exhaust right at tray level. Underneath is a big shelve for things and a place to hold a dozen drying screens.Quote:

If I were building a darkroom again the knowledge of that sink build would convert me to digital...
Beautiful cutting edge equipment in you darkroom! Your boards for the window are inspiring me with another idea.
