DIY in-reel film dryer, for when hanging is not an option

Perhaps, like many of us, Foto Ludens has to share the location used for film drying with others who use the same location for non-photographic purposes .
That's a big part of it, for sure!
 
A lack of patience keeps me using my film dryer. I don't notice any more dust or curl than when hanging film in the shower. Dry film in 15 minutes (no heat) is pretty nifty.

Cool setup!

Yep, just don't use the heat . I have a very nice drying cabinet, ex University of Iowa, I occasionally use, but no heat.
Running a dehumidifier (or AC) reduces drying time as well.
 
Kinda like a Senrac dryer. I use one and have for many years without any curling problem.
