A couple of months ago I decided to make the switch to FP4 in Pyrocat HD. Prior to leaving for the summer I did a quick test shot in the back yard. I did 2+2+196 in an inversion tube, (a little...
Very good question. I am also pondering the same thing. I have no answers for you but perhaps your question may help me sort out my thoughts.
A year ago we sold the house, and spent a year...
Thanks for the quick response, "he said with a little smile",
I did come grips with my printing issues, back about 2011 or so.
I would love to hear what the other advantages are.
John, and Brad, I didn't find much on D23. I did find something from P Formulary, looked like a powder? But couldn't find much usage info. Care to elaborate just a wee bit. Looked to me like you...
Good for you.
What sort of camera did you have in mind?
Thanks Corran, I may pick up a bottle and try a few sheets.
I tried it once, just couldn't get past the smell
Brian HD was the way I was leaning,
Fred we have a pretty big 5th wheel. But it doesn't take long to fill up, once we start cramming all our junk in.
Before you know it, them lil hills feel like mountains.
Maybe this is a good time...

I just Googled the pipettes, problem solved. I have used syringes as my accurate little bitty measurement system, pipettes look way better.
Never tried rodinal, I was always put...
An inch, wow. That makes it sound rather foolproof. Thx
I've been happily dunkin my hp5 and tmy in Xtol for a while now. But plans are in the works for a couple years on the road in the rv. And space is at a premium. Clanking bottles of Xtol is not the...
Maarten do you give up yet?
Sure you could. But not the best choice. While it might be lighter, I bet the weight savings are insignificant. It's not going to hold a small screw very good. And I don't think you could get a back...
On my 11x14 I bought some pre frosted plexiglass it was pretty bad. But after taking some regular glass gritt to it, I'm pretty impressed.

Here are a couple of quick shots showing the box that I built to use as a form to assemble the bellows. The brown paper represents the inner layer of material. Then it was wrapped with the...
Very nice. I thought my 90 was wide, but I bet you can see your feet.
Dave, I like this. For some reason I just keep looking at it.
To be honest, it is a picture of nothing, in the grand landscape scheme of things. But yet, it is a very nice spot, with some...
Lachlan,
I think the axle came from McMaster also. (They have a really good selection of rods and tubes.) If I recall, its 1/8". The problem was the knobs were for 1/4" shafts. But McMaster...
The whole thing is symmetrical, knobs and gears on both sides. There is an axel shaft running threw the baseboard connecting the sides
I'm a contractor, so I just related to the size better. Perhaps it was a little more like building a complicated cabinet project. Other than the size, the bellows were a snap. They fold up into...
Ricardo, its mostly aluminum, but there is some brass and stainless here and there. It was butt ugly when the aluminum was silver. On a whim I thought I'd try some anodizing. Turns out its not...
David and Cletus, thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
Steve, here are a couple of quick cell phone pics. Nothing special really, its all McMaster Carr.

I am of the opinion that the 11x14 is a nice size. It was actually easier to build than the 4x5. Here's my attempt.83952
Steve,
No plans, I just wing it, and hope for the best. If there is anything in particular your interested in I'd be happy to share.

This has been a work in progress for several years. Its been finished a couple of times. Used and abandoned, rebuilt and abandoned again. Hopefully I'm done now.
I've worked my way trough...
Hey, we have an international airport and IHOP. Plus my wife tells me darned near every day there is too many people here.
Chuck,
This is not the article, but it will give you the idea.

Chuck,
You dont need to go buy anything special. All you need is something pretty straight about 2-3 inches long, a clothespin or some clamp, and a toothpick.
Just take a filmholder, lay the...
Its really quite simple.
The emulsion side of the film, in a loaded inserted holder, should be in the same place as the rough side of your ground glass while focusing.
Now if your going the...
If your a little bit handy, its pretty simple to make your tanks out of plastics.
It's a great book to grow into.
Sorry, I couldnt help myself.
Fish hook holder?
How many guesses do we get?
You're a genius, if I've read this before , it didn't sink in. Thanks for putting this out there for us comprehensively challenged folks.

Get a big tupperware bin. Mount a couple of rods at the top. Cut a couple of vents, I Covered mine with coffee filters. Use your choice of hanger.
Bingo, redneck cheap portable drying...
Heck I'll do it for 85 cents. But sometimes I get all that liquid stuff mixed up, and in the interest of full disclosure sometimes a sheet (or two) ends up on the floor. :) Its really hard to...
