Definitely cool.
I can see a bunch of wet plate guys getting one of them.

Have to admit that if I had any disposable income right now* that'd be on the shopping list for sure together with an enlarger and anything else I needed to complete a home darkroom which could be packed away when not in use.

A very cool thing.


*currently unemployed, which is why I've not been doing much filmwasting lately as even though it's possible to go places again I can't afford to!

That's for me! Just the thing as the UK starts to head into winter...

I've been considering trying to hack my own set-up like this, having seen wet plate guys, mostly in the US, using ice fishing tents and stuff. But why bother, when there is a ready-made one? Great idea.
