Between commissions I’ve been doing a little work on this old press! I bolted a cutting mat in under the press bed cause you never have a cutting surface when you’re doing make ready. I also finally got some sheet steel cut to raise the press bed! Next step me and @hammerbuiltfabrication are building a paper feed board with a registration guid that mimics a vandercook... and we’ve got a couple other bells and whistles in mind, it’s gonna be a pretty little press by the end of summer! . . . #challengepress #challengeproofingpress #proofingpress #challengeprintingpress #printingpress #press #letterpress #1418ez #letterpressprinting #letterpresslove #analogdesign #design #graphicdesign #graphicart #iubloomington #iuartanddesign #iuartarchdesign #woodtypewednesday #letterpressprinter #printmaking #printmaker #reliefprint #woodcut #mcclainprintmakingsupplies #vansonink #vanson #speedballink (at IU School of Art, Architecture + Design)
