Lets See Your Darkroom

What I plan to invest in eventually are better anti fatigue mats, something that makes a HUGE difference in comfort and allows me to work for hours at a time.

I'm also never standing in one spot for long and am always shuffling back and forth between the enlarging bench and the sink.

I have some and they work great. I do however roll my office desk chair in while I process film.

Another update on our darkroom! The sink is finally fitted -



The trays are 21"x26" so we should be good for pretty big prints - 24" x whatever wide. We've got the light-proofing to do, fit the hot water heater and we're very close to being done. Very exiting!

Careful of that light leak by the sink there, Welly.

Always build the sink as large as the room will allow. . . then add six feet for good measure!

[Robert Hall]

Agreed!

[Corran]

Must be nice. My sink is 1 foot square...

[Robert Hall]

You are just a better darkroom-ist than most.

JB, now that is what I need!

Thanks Jim! Bought this house in '96 and built the darkroom almost before I unpacked. It has worked very well for us. . . the only complaint is we could use a longer sink, this one is 10' 4". . . wish it were 20'. . . or maybe 25'. :-)

I don't print that often but when I do, I spend hours in the darkroom. No standing for that long, though I do get up often enough. I've worked in the common standing darkrooms, and that was enough to convince me a lower table and rolling chair worked better for me.

Right, my room is small, my skin is small (1,50 m x 0,51 m)
