For those of us that do not have a dedicated darkroom, I thought that this might be of interest. I took a rolling tool cart with a top cover and transformed it to hold my enlarger, chemicals, etc. The cover is held up by a bracket I made and holds the developing trays; remove the bracket and the cover goes down for storage. I can roll it where I want to do my developing and then move it out of the way when finished. Just thought it might give some ideas to others that don't have the convenience of a separate room.

Wow! That is an excellent idea. I wish I had seen this back when I was developing and printing.

I just occassionally fool with B&W 5x7 developing and can tuck this out of the way until needed.

Very clever! You will have to be very, very neat & clean with the chemicals. I'd put down a drop cloth as well. Every actual or improvised darkroom I've had or used had a Wet side and a Dry side.
