    DIY Wetplate Darkbox (Suitcase Design)

    Not sure to post in the wetplate or DIY section but I guess it fit here better.

    I made this darkbox for wetplate photography a few years back so it is only recently that I thought I do a video detailing about its dimensions. the kind of wood I used and of course the construction.

    No traditional wood joints as I do not have much woodworking skills. I just use screws to join the parts together. You just need a drill to drill some pilot holes and a screwdriver to screw in the screws.

    take a look if you are looking to make a darkbox. This one is more of a suitable design rather than box design. Leave your comments in the Youtuve video or here.

    It's just big enough you could do 8x10 in it. Simple enough I think most people could make this.
