Harman Titan 8x10 opinions?

And if you get tired of blue, tea or coffee toning is inexpensive, fun, and can be beautiful.
 
I made two simple plywood pinhole cameras, as seen here:

Those look great! Much nicer than any pinhole camera I ever made. How do you apply back pressure to keep the film holder tight?
 
I'll need to look up the chemistry required to develop/fix/stop
Even if you don't want to contact print ... yet, you've got the paper to make paper negs, which work great. The chemistry is stupid easy. Multigrade Dev from Ilford. Dilute vinegar for stop bath. Ilford rapid fix. All easy to set up and tear down in a bathroom if space limited.

I have a 1/2 inch wood plate behind the film holder. There is a 1/2 inch horizontal dowel behind that. Between the wood plate and the dowel, I use a wedge.
