I had posted my previous dark box build here, so I thought I would post my dark box mark II here as well. The first dark box which I documented in my Dark Box Build thread turned out to not work so well. Well, It worked fine as a darkbox, just failed in the portability department. It weighs a lot, and was harder to move around than I had hoped.

Because of that, with warmer springtime weather beginning to show, I started construction of my new darkbox last week, and finished it this morning. It's conceptually simpler than the last one, but overall more portable and easier to set up. The main feature of this dark box is that it has wheels attached to the bottom so when it's folded up it can be used as a cart to transport the rest of my tintype gear.

If any of you want to replicate it or build one inspired by it, I can send you some instructions and a parts list, though I'd have to put that together first. At the moment the plans exist mostly in my head.
