Just when my dear wife thought I was doing so well with the decluttering my resolve buckles and I acquire a small but perfectly formed Albion printing press from the 1850s/60s. Seeing I have three screwdrivers and an half empty can of oil, my attempts at restoration should be interesting. I shall attempt to march ahead and build cautiously upon my usual state of optimistic ignorance!

Trying my hand at the NYCR printing press for this year's holiday cards. The 3mm acrylic plate is based on my photo of the Empire State building, designed in inkscape and cut with my epilog laser cutter driver. The press was set at 19 using Caligo "carbon black" ink. Command line to cut the plate was:

Die Columbia-Handpresse wurde 1813 von George Clymer, einem Mechaniker aus Philadelphia, erfunden und ab 1820 in Europa eingesetzt.
Charakteristisch für Columbia-Handpresse sind die reichen Verzierungen. Ein Weißkopfseeadler fungiert als Gegengewicht oben an der Presse. In seinen Krallen hält er die Donnerkeile des Jupiters, einen Olivenzweig und ein Füllhorn.

The Columbian hand printing presss was invented in 1813 by George Clymer, a mechanic at Philadelphia, and from 1820 it was used in Europe. The Columbian design is notable for its elaborate, symbolic ornamentation. The cast-iron bald eagle on the top lever represents the United States. It clutches in one talon a cornucopia, representing prosperity and plenty, while the other clutches an olive branch, representing peace. An experienced pressman and his assistant could produce up to 250 printed sheets per hour.

The monastery has made a great effort to print books. A printing press was bought during a journey to England in 1874 and subsequently shipped to Antonius Azar in Aleppo. In 1881 the press was moved to the Monastery and in 1882 a separate house for the press was built. In the 1880s the archbishop of Jerusalem was sent to England to learn the printing. He came back with a second press as a backup for the first, which was located in Jerusalem. In 1888 the first book was printed in the monastery and a copy was sent to Queen Victoria. In the Monastery books kept being printed until 1917. From 1913 to 1914 also a periodical named Hikmet was printed. In the Turkish Republic the printing press was used to print official documents as it was the only press in the region.
In the printing house, books in Arabic, Turkish, and Syriac, were published until 1969, and a monthly magazine called Öz Hikmet until 1953. Some of the pieces are exhibited in the monastery, others in the Kırklar Church in Mardin.

This is one of several antique printing presses that is in operation at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers' Reunion in Rollag, Minnesota. The grounds have thousands of operating exhibits but sadly it is only open for the four days of Labor Day weekend each year.
This is a small demo of how the micro adjusters and the tension spring all work, to keep the screen firmly attached to the actual press.
It all couldn't be much more simpler.
