After spending most of this week removing grease and rust from the Golding, I finally started doing some test prints. I don’t have a base for her yet, so I set some wood type to test impression and roller heights. PS: Does anyone have a 6×9 base they’d like to sell?
Its so awesome seeing this press spring to life after sitting in storage for so long. Today I’ll be printing jibberish and having a darn good time. Long live letterpress.
Printing gibberish sounds like an awesome time to me! What a cool thing, to give a new life to something designed for use.
Thanks Diane! Yeah, it feels good for the soul. :)
Sounds like great fun!
