Tonight's happy project! Cleaning up the coolest thing I've ever gotten in the mail: @marsolaispress's steel oscillating roller on loan from their Colt's, sister press to mine. The Grand Plan: get it shiny and take it for a test drive on my press, then into the trustworthy hands of local machining wizard @lichenbikes to take it apart oh-so-carefully, document its inner workings, make a blueprint and machine a new one for my press. Unless someone's unearthed one in the meantime? Also, anybody else need one of these babies for a 14x22 Colt's? Major thanks to Jesse @marsolaispress for the cross-continent loan. #pressrestoration #slowbutsure #oscillatingroller #letterpress #community #coltsarmorypress
