Good day of printing!

First run on the C & P

Setting up to print title page of my BAO book

Inking the plate, an art in itself

First run of 30,  just to be sure to have enough

First part done, short an E to be able to print entire title

Afternoon sun coming in 

Second part done, whew!  Lever mechanics needs some more cleaning and adjusting before the next run

The Queen is entertained

The entertainment!

Lovely day

Playing with Type

 Spent a lovely day yesterday at the Publishing Museum in St. Andrews.  While those up north are enjoying (?) fireplaces and snow.  Us southerners are walking about in shorts and sandals.   Being a Florida native, I think this is quite alright and don't mind 78 degree Thanksgivings. 

Happy Thanksgiving Yall!

More type lying about

Tinyest part of wonderful Christmas Village, more later...
