The line of the now de-watered canal bed is seen in the foreground running below the west coast main line. It is just possible to make out the name of Joseph Foster and Sons Soho Foundry on brickwork of Goss's wall left of centre.

East Lansing resident Arie Koelewyn grabs a bookmark that has just been pressed with a quail on Sept. 29, 2016 in the art studio at Snyder Hall. When Koelewyn makes wedding invitations he ideally likes to invite them over so they can experience the process of letterpressing.
There was an old printing company in my extended neighborhood that recently went on the market. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the open house and stumbled across a wealth of old printing gear. Most noteworthy were several old early 1900s letter presses, very similar to the one my dad had in our garage when I was a kid.
This and the other photos from Dimond Printers were taken using Hipstamatic.
Generally, Foster's mill engines and boilers were built at the Soho foundry site at Greenbank. The Bow Lane works concentrated on paper folding machines and presses.
This weeks daft idea, bought at the tip for a fiver, I have seen examples and instructions for converting the old wooden wheel turned mangles, I wondered if this would work too. Any one tried it or have a working version. Tips and advice welcomed ;-)
I've reluctantly decided to sell this press to make room for another, newly acquired press...a Rouse #2 iron handpress.
Sold.
We are making some eco bags to sell on tour. This is our first model - raindrop = music note. We printed them all in our bedroom with our trusty print gocco.
If you don't know about print gocco you have to check this out:
SH.2009.359.1 small lying press. SH.2009.359.2 medium lying press. SH.2009.359.3 large lying press.
Two wooden strips of wood joined together by two screw bolts.
Accession Number: SH.2009.359.1-3
The lying press consists of two pieces of wood about 3ft in length and 6inch square with a large wooden screw at each end to open and close the two cheeks. In one cheek the screws run free and in the other they run in threads; there are holes in the free sides of the screws in which the iron pin is placed for leverage. The backing boards are laid each side of the book parallel with the joint at a distance of the thickness of the board subsequently attached. The boards are then lowered into the press until the thickest part of the board is level with the top of the cheeks of the press. The press is then tightly and evenly screwed up first with the hands, and then with the pin. The pressure emphasises the swelling in the book. This is then hammered down each side of the back until a projection has been made which will take the thickness of the boards and remains at right angles with the side of the book. The theory of a perfectly backed book is that the middle sections are left untouched, but that the sections begin to bend away from the middle in perfect gradation until the first and last sections bend at a sharply accentuated and perfectly creased right-angle, maintaining a good even slope from the crown of the back to both extremes with a good round shoulder to support the boards.
The lying press was the bookbinder’s main source of apparatus. The rounding is done when the give is in a state of flexibility. The publication must be sufficiently moist to enable the book to be moulded into the round. The book is laid flat on the table with the back away from the operator, the left hand being laid on the sides, and the thumb on the fore-edge. The upper portion is pulled over until the book faces up at a rather sharp angle, the back is then gently tapped with the hammer on the upper portion, and the sections readily yield to the pressure. The book is then turned over and treated similarly on the other side. Several turns of the book are sometimes necessary before the right shape is formed.

Because you wait for ages to get one , then 2 come along at once! Dalton 2 weeks ago then Adana this week.
I knew if I waited long enough, i.e.years, I would find another printing press at a carboot sale, didn't think it would be £5 though. Adana 8 x 5 platen press in need of some TLC, missing chase and rollers but all moving as it should. There were 3 styles of 8 x 5, not sure which one this is.
So many projects, so little time.... and space.

Kelsey Excelsior 5x8 inch Model O for sale. It misses the grippers, the gripper spring, the trucks/runners and one bolt/pin connecting the handle to the platen in the left side of the press – marked with the screw driver on the photo. No breaks or welds. The rollers needs to be recovered.

THis is a panoramic of the main factory building. This area has been totally secured by a large fence - also begging for some light painting and night photography
