I seem to have inherited a problem from my father. I think it's unnecessary to buy anything you can build yourself - even if becomes more expensive and not as good when building it yourself. This time I think I have dodged the bullet since I don't have a suitable place for developing film, but just wait until I move to a house with a garage and a pitch dark small room.
Anyway, here are instructions on building the film development tank from PVC tubes and accessories.

Adjusting for Dogmar
Today I adjusted the infinity stops for 6.5 inch Dogmar. Not entirely sure if I'm doing it right though. I opened the iris all the way open and set the focusing aid on the bed to infinity and locked the bed. Then I moved the lens board forward on the rails until buildings around 2 miles away were sharp. I still can't trust the focusing aid on the bed for shorter distances. Maybe the focusing aid is calibrated for the original 127mm lens. Well, maybe I will take my time only shoot with hood.
