I like the book press and the print driers. I know it's sacrilege to use a belt drier, I've been doing it for 35 years with no troubles. Looks likes a fun place to work. Mike
I use the print dryer to dry or glass standard argentique print and when i prepared a stock of paper for alternativ photography (acifification, sizing).
I can prepared a hundreds of 11x14 papers in a couple of hours, after acidification and drying the paper is twisted a tour in drier belt and is now plat, a tour after sizing and it's perfec for work !
Thanks for all
Okay, Here's the latest on the darkroom build. I FINALLY got an electrician out here to redo my service and run a line over to the darkroom building. I bought a strange desk off Craigslist and modified it to serve as a enlarger table. I figured out that I had to get the enlarger table in before I built the sink. Found out the A/C unit that came with the building works-man does it work![ATTACH=CONFIG]165700
I used to have a desk like that. In case you do not know it would hold a typewriter inside.

Ron,
Is correct, it is a typewriter desk.
Mike
Yeah, the typewriter table part has holes where they bolted the typewriter to it.
Okay, finally got the sink finished and the base made and got it into the darkroom! ( man, what a job to get the base in there !) The sink is 3/4 plywood and 1" by 4" sides of high grade "select" wood covered with 3 coats of Rustolum truck bed liner paint. I made a prototype some years back and it works just fine. It's 2 feet by 8 feet on the outside.
The base is made of 2 "boarding buggies" from an abandoned sock mill that I cut down and had welded end to end and stacked pressure treated 2" by 4's to act as feet and raise it up a bit.
And before ya'll ask...a boarding buggy is used in sock mills to take socks that have been washed, dried and pressed in a boarding machine and folded over to the packaging department.
Okay, here's the latest update. The Duplicolor bedliner paint I sprayed on the counter never seemed to fully dry and was somewhat tacky to the touch. I finally got some self-stick floor tiles and covered it with them.
I'm not doing much in there as I've pulled a muscle in my left arm and I don't want to tear it up any more than I already have.
