Something I'd be keen to try, I just don't know where to start!

Gold Street Studios runs courses.

I also think Craig Tuppin can help.

Then there's YouTube...

I was more wondering about supplies. And whether there are any local supplies of anything. I'm getting a bit sick of importing almost everything.

I do wet plate
If getting from gold street you will pay big bucks for freight as it is deemed dangerous goods.
I have bought the website "wet plate.com.au " a year ago
Was planning on running supplies for the Sydney region if I get some interest I might be motivated to organize sooner rather than later.
I have done the course at gold street
And will be more active soon with wet plate.
It's cool shit!

If you already have the camera. All you do is cut a hole in a dd and do a few things and presto wet plate camera.
We prob should start a Fred for wp

Making a box for nitrate is easy just Perspex and super glue.
Yep that's the glue to bond Perspex.

Then just get your tin or glass cut to size and presto.
Camera.
