Jul 6, 2008 - Thanks for sharing operational tips... "3 pieces of furniture to the edge of the chase". Too many letterpress videos are pre-occupied with traditionalizing or zooming on the wheels and "bite". This shows not just what a press can do but how a person can use a press. The gems shared here make a difference.Thank you from the depths of the grease beneath my nails.
