My 10 x 15 C&P

Everything is falling into place. This weekend we move the 10 x 15 C&P press and paper cutter into the garage. I got a great deal on it, one I couldn’t pass on. Still have a few more items to acquire before I’m up and running. The press could use a little cleaning, but that’s just personal preference. Rollers are good, but I’ll need to put tape on the rails to assure the correct height.

Through out this adventure my wife has be wonderful. Hope I’m not miss reading things, but she is the best! Honey, if you’re reading this don’t forget to go by and pick up the chases. They shouldn’t be too heavy…LOL.

I hope to be posting samples soon. I’m working on an additional site for Letterpress. It will be at TimePressesOn.com. Coming Soon! Doesn’t every old letter press desire it’s own URL

First Day of Letterpress Class

Started back to school. I’m taking GID-92 Letterpress Printing at Foothill College. For me the first day was awesome! We even had a chance to lock up some old wood type in a chase and print on an Old Reliable press.

I wanted to keep the design simple so I made “A Rocket”. Tomorrow I heading out on a road trip and will be looking at two Chandler and Price printing presses. Let the fun begin!
