Film Dryer cabinet

Anyone know where I can get some plans, or sketches of a film drying cabinet (35 mm & 4x5). It would save me a little effort in design time

Robert,

Perhaps you can modify these plans:

An alternative would be to purchase an office steel cabinet with 2 doors and string a plastic coated wire inside... Unless you have a large volume of film or are trying to meet deadlines you really do not need forced heated air...

Cheap and fee of dust...

Go to Wal-mart and get a garment bag. Their totally enclosed with breathable fabric. Hang the film with clothes pins off the hangers provided. IF you don't have a hook in the ceiling to hang the bag, get a shower curtain rod and stick it up somewhere. When not in use it folds and stows away.
