"Political Correctness" is just another way to muzzle free expression
August 10, 2018 at 11:13 am #672184Just a quick note / update:
The press is now 90% complete, and tested. A few tweaks still remain to be done, like some decorative carving on the side plates and so forth.It prints GREAT. Actually it prints just like my Showcard Press, just smaller. I did some tests using crusher-gauges, and it will easily press with 3000 psi across the entire bed.. which means it will do intaglio, as well as relief printing.
I also kept very accurate records on the cost to produce the little machine, with an eye to possibly doing a production run for sale. It looks like I could sell them for around $500 or so and still make a nice profit, if I made a run of ten units
Unfortunately, judging by the response I’ve seen, nobody seems interested… so it is doubtful if I’ll make a production run.

We had a hijack hack of our front page which the techs have fixed now so many members couldn’t get onto WetCanvas.

December 11, 2018 at 8:32 pm #672187Just a rather late note to say how exquisite your little press is. An example of real craftsmanship & a joy to see. I do hope it prints as well as looks! Amazing!

Since that was posted a few months ago, I’ve added a few things to the press. I’ve finished the grippers, made a nice wooden base and so forth. Below are a few pics of it in it’s “ready to print” form.
