I finally did it, my own darkroom!

I finally but up my darkroom. So far I have been using my bathroom from time to time but that was way to much of a hazzle.
We have this garage we have been using with the other people in the house but everyone just uses it for storage. It was so messy that I could not find anything in there so I spent a whole day cleaning it and organize. That gave me this space I knew about for my darkroom. All I need now is to put up the red light and some radio 😉

I´m happy now 😛

May I recommend...

May I recommend...

...a barstool, or some other type of stool to get you off your feet.

My biggest complaint about darkroom work is that my feet get tired.

But your setup looks beautiful!

Congrats! I envy you.
I live in an apartment and have to use a bathroom. It takes me 40 minutes to set it all up and then I have to take it down when I am done.

It looks lovely, I am very envious.
Enjoy!

Good point, did not think of that.
Thanx 😉

Fluorescent lights glow after they turn off. Install regular lights.

And I just struck a deal on an ad, so tonight I'm picking up a set of

Durst 601C enlarger with El-Nikkor 2,8/50 mm
timer
Beseler color analyzer
bowls, developer tanks, Cibacrome tank
masking frames
etc

All for 650 Swedish = 80 USD

So far, I'm happy!

That looks like a nice set-up. Not all flourescents have residual glow. Try another brand if you have the problem. I've been using them in my darkroom for 40 years. I have a stool but it mostly gets used by visitors or for standing on to get stuff off the top shelves. After 40 years you'll have a LOT more shelves...LOL
I also have an ashtray in mine.
