Surprised the string idea didn't get more reaction. With CPP2, I used a generous loop of synthetic cord tied to the ends of the rails and simply rested over any/all of the big heavy drums while they...

Mike,

Yes. And as I wrote, just "differences in details", and some ideas & suggestions that might interest forum members. Not expecting anyone to follow my example to the letter.

Plastic fabricators serving the metal plating industry might be another source. Lots of big dip n' dunk tanks. Got to be some of those in Toronto.

Also looked into "hot gas welding" early on - very briefly. Way beyond the scope of my little project, my abilities, and the budget. (Would have needed an air compressor in addition to welding...

The sink mats were assembled from Dri-Dek anti-fatigue floor tiles - the same ones seen in the 1st photo in the top post. (https://www.dri-dek.com/) Just rinsed everything - trays, mats, sinks -...

Rail saw an excellent suggestion, but I don't remember (32 years on!) if the shop I used had one. Choice of tools was their call, anyway.

Every joint and corner was reinforced with solvent welded...

Just checked with GEHR Plastics website.

Here are all their grey PVC 'L' shapes:

Drawings in previous post not sharp. See these pdf's.

Also, more photos - drain detail (another similar drain inside dump trough without standpipe) and inside corner detail:

More photos and drawings. Drawings were done on a Mac Plus with MacDraft or similar, so...

Third photo shows removable connection between sinks from below. Fourth photo shows upper sink draining...

Going through old files, I found a 1989 article I wrote for a long-defunct darkroom magazine on building a PVC darkroom sink. (Predates homepage article by 13 years.) There are enough differences in...

Easiest solution without having to "bake in" a tilt towards a corner drain while designing & building the sink would be use 4 t-nuts & leveling bolts in the four corners (whether legs or cabinet...

Title pretty much says it all. Have accumulated 18 empties in all colors. No plans to use non-OEM inks. Toss, recycle (how?), sell?

Many thanks. Will give it a try.

Epson 3880. Been printing on glossy/luster papers exclusively for a year or so with PK/gloss black ink. Just went to shake all carts (as I do every month or so), & noticed MK/matte black cart is...

Lens was my standard lens, HC110 my developer. Easy to remember. Location records? As I wrote, notes with travel log is missing, maybe lost....dammit. And again, this was shot 30-35 years ago. At...

I'd like to ID this for a better title, if possible. I know we have...

They don't list enlarger covers, but https://www.digitaldeckcovers.com/ could probably make one to your spec for a very reasonable price, especially if it's a relatively simple shape. Send them...

Google "traditional wall tent". Had a 4 or 6-man to myself when I spent a summer in BC decades ago, where I only moved camp every week or so. Plenty of standing room, and ability to put folding table...

Used this (http://www.drytac.com/substrates/canvas/lamin-all-adhesive.html) to cold mount fiber and RC prints in a cold vacuum press for years up until roughly 25 years ago when I sold off the lab....

Frame being milled.

Had one of these precision milled from plain steel by a local machine shop and painted matte black. Chose steel, 1st, because the shop had 1.2 mm material in stock, which would allow for shimming to...

Since print mounting seems to be a frequent subject, I thought this might be of interest.

Just found a 4x5 neg of a vacuum cold mount press I built around 30 years ago. There was a do-it-yourself...

Didn't the whole limited edition thing really start with 'mechanical' artist prints - etchings, stone lithographs, gravure, etc. - where there is an actual physical limit to the number of good...

Well, tried it on the back of a small print on Epson Exhibition Fiber.

Created blank document, composed type & printed in Photoshop. Stayed with Photo Black ink even though back of paper is...

This might be desireable for copyright statement & title purposes, since prints are hinged & not full mounted.

Using an Epson 3880. Has anyone run a sheet of heavy, single coated FB paper back...

Just curious... Sorting through some old negs, finding many portraits that I sent to Meisel back in the dark ages.

For those too young to remember, labs that concentrated on portrait, wedding,...

Was wondering if placing a new, wrung out, damp sponge in the print delivery cavity on top of the print receiving tray -- with all doors closed and Tumi printer cover on -- was a good way to keep...

Kirk, Peter, and anyone else who bought one of these as their main screen for PS editing.... are we still happy? Would you still recommend today? Putting a new system together, and a decent,...

Look into vacuum cold mounting. I built my own press 20+ years ago with something like a 30"x48" piece of 1/4" tempered glass, Gast diaphragm vacuum pump, and rubber sheet, with a hinged wooden...

Nobody's mentioned Corel's Paintshop Pro? (not to be confused with Corel Painter, a painting program)

No experience with current version, but I believe it now supports 16 bit, raw, psd's and many...

For us low volume/intermittent/amateur users, would the no-contract option allow one to simply pay the $30 for a month here and a month there of intensive editing, and zip for those months when we're...

Yes, I know I could do it myself. But it's more than just ordering a kit from the Formulary. It means all new tanks and reels, bottles, thermometer, and finding a clean place to load and then hang...

It is a just a bit harsh, Lenny. I'm holding the posted print and others I mentioned side-by-side with the same as C-prints from a Fuji Frontier. Right in my hands, less than a foot away. Not awful,...

Nah, I want a real American retail mark-up. Let's see. Cost is 49 cents. Sell should be around $18.99.

Met a young photographer with a new Nikon 7000 at my usual coffee house, and conversation turned to printing. I was telling him about my search for a new printer and some of the deals currently...

Read somewhere that you can pull up the little screw cover plugs with duct or Gorilla tape without marking them. Might come in especially handy if someone has a scanner still under warranty.

Are you using the flimsy black "Film Area Guide" for full area film/transparency scans directly on the glass, like for 8x10 negs? If anything of yours intrudes into the 1/2 inch band above the white...

Knew it was pigment ink, not dye sub. My keyboard was temporarily bewitched. Thanks for noticing; edited correction.

I'm new to ink jet photo printers, and was all set to order a new Epson 3000, or even a 3880, before the October rebates expire. Still just a bit unsure of just how much I want to get into making my...

Looking again at the perspective of #2 , I'm beginning to think I must have used a WA. Had both 90 & 65 SW Nikkors at the time - it was probably the 90 on this one.
