For anyone interested, Technology Connections recently released two interesting videos covering B&W film development [1] and photographic printing [2] at home. Iirc he also mentioned Caffenol at some point.
I find this stuff super interesting. I recently got into film photography a little but haven't really considered developing the negatives myself, mainly due to our small apartment. Maybe some day.

- ghaff 5y agoDeveloping B&W 35mm negatives is pretty straightforward and doesn't require much room or gear. It's also the uninteresting part of the process. (Aside from playing with chemistry.) I had the rest of the equipment for printing from high school days but, after having good darkrooms in college/graduate school, I set things up in a half bath in my apartment and it was all more trouble than it was worth. By the time I got a house, there still wasn't a good place to setup a darkroom and digital was on the cusp of coming in.
