Devil's Tail Press / The North End of the Shop

In this photo of the north end of my shop are almost too many shop items to be counted. In view and/or hidden by doors shelves or layers are: 5 printing presses, 2 gold foil stamping presses, one bookbinding press, one type cabinet, one wood-engraver's ruling machine, a corner-rounder, 2 quarter case stands with cases of rule, border, ornaments and type, an ink cabinet with 100+ pounds of ink, one bookbinding laying press & plough, one bookbinder's finishing press, a small sewing frame, a metal stool, racks of furniture and reglets, a light table, a DVD player of questionable vintage, along with some excellent music of 1920s vintage, a rolling cart, 2 wooden press cabinets and another metal one that was pressed into service for a galley press, a filing cabinet, a drying rack, a tube rack, a shark shin, miscellaneous boxes and tubes, a small shop library, a type-high measuring gauge, a couple hundred old ATF mats, assorted wall decorations and other miscellaneous trappings of a shop that could easily be twice the size it is. All this in a space that is close to 90 square feet, about a third of my whole shop.
