Right half of his face at 9:02 with "shades" reminds me of Billy Connolly in "Boondock Saints". Cool video!

Really cool idea with the portable darkroom! Love seeing people still doing the old process photography!

Very nice idea for the glove box. Have you got some ressources about it?

Hi - nice portraits - I would suggest to Stan that he use more water / change the water out for the stop bath (red tray in the box) - the plates are coming out looking "greasy" and the water is streaking off - this is a sign that he has not sufficiently stopped development of the plate and washed all of the developer off. It does not appear to cause much harm to the image here as you are indoors and I assume not much UV light, but outdoors it can cause fogging or streaks on the plate due to continued development. It also causes the fixer to become exhausted much quicker due to the chemistry carrying over into the fixing bath.

Thanks for the comment Sam, I shall pass your message onto Stan.

Hi any one can tell me what is name of the glass coated from black?

[@stanislavgdovin3247]

Usually people would use asphlatum to coat glass black, but in this video we used black (adonized) aluminium :)
