There was a thread on this a while back:

Yeah, but only glbeas posted some pictures in that thread. And it's often the pictures that make you think about new solutions to old problems.

Some additional work is still needed here. The room is about 18' x 12'. The sink is just over 10' long and 36" wide. Seen on the dry side is a Super Chromega F Dichroic II enlarger. The electronics area and the lens cabinet are not visible in this picture. There is a refrigerator for film and paper storage.

It's incredibly small (>2m x >1m), but it's my first darkroom, and all I really do in there is printing. My laundry is less than 5 paces away, so film developing and mixing of chemicals is all done in there instead. I've got a couple of tiny light leaks and I need to build a proper door this weekend, but after printing for the first time the other night it's got the potential to do everything I need it to for at least several years.

It has grown considerably since these photos where taken. I'll have to get some new ones taken to post.

Well, it took over two years and is not perfect but it works

Hi Adrian,

I really like your wet table. Was it custom made?

Hi Chris,

Maybe your darkroom is very small, but it looks very functional. My problem is that after twenty years of darkroom I have collected so much "neat" stuff that I am now forced to choose between he stuff I really need, and the useless gadgets. A cluttered darkroom with lots of features isn't always a joy to work in. Sometimes I spend more time rearranging and cleaning up than printing.

These picture tours have been very helpful to me. Thank you. I just noticed this excellent photo tour of Ed Buffaloe’s dark room on Unblinking eye and thought it would add to this thread. http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/DTour/DR01/dr01.html

All right. Here you go then.
Please! Everybody try to stay with the group. I wouldn't want anyone wandering off and getting lost.
If you would like to visit the wet side of my darkroom, please knock first and be kind enough to light a match when you are finished.
