Building an 8 x 10 enlarger

[Dan Dozer]

Wow - this is all terrific - just what I needed. I think that the right choice for me is to build an adapter box for a cold light head on top of the 5 x 7 enlarger that I already have. I don't have room in my darkroom for a horizontal enlarger but I think I have the vertical space to work with the enlarger. I'll post photos of it when I get it finished for all to see. I think it's going to be similar to what John Powers has.

To all who posted photos, thanks a lot. It gave me lots of ideas.

Jim - are you sure that you don't need a temporary home for your enlarger? I know how little space you have and I can surely find space for it.

Dan,

Good luck. Let me know if there are any details I can add.

Dan, who knows? I'm so sucked in with carbon printing that one never knows. For the time being I have to keep looking at it. Same reason I have not sold off all of my Azo yet.

In case you don't have access to the APUG galleries to see the picture, this is John's fantastic 8x10 conversion.
