colin carron Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nice one :-) that portable darkroom could get you arrested these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 That's when photography was fun, not expensive. Love the DIY gadgits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseberry guitars Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 A lot of that stuff could get you shot in a stand-off with the police or at the very least arrested. Funny stuff Kevin. Thanks for posting the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_jeanette1 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The Rube Goldberg rat trap is the bomb! I'll bet they didn't even get a letter from the ASPCA back then. BTW, I believe both Popular Mechanics, and Mechanics Illustrated both put out encyclopedias of home repairs and DIY. Both had many of the old hands on projects and a lot about photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micah_henry Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The 1946 article on darkroom chemistry and tasting the hypo is kind of scary. Isn't that kinda toxic? http://blog.modernmechanix.com/mags/qf/c/PopularScience/7-1946/chemistry_photo/xlg_chemistry_photo_2.jpg --Micah in NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygzr Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 In 1946, cars had metal dashboards and no seatbelts. Different world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
