elizabeyta in letterpress, life

I worked with my letterpress on Sunday.  Since the last time I did, I read the manual.  I found it online and I learned good things.  I also got more tools.  Some I ordered.  Some I had in the house.  The new paper holders that are soft work really well with the Boxcar base I am using.  I got about 30 business cards printed that I am happy with.  I need to cut more paper to print more and I will need to trim these.  Every time I work with the press, I am getting a little better

This is the tool I am using most often for adjustments, a screwdriver.  I have lived in this world where a 32nd of an inch or a 16th of an inch makes a huge difference before.  But that is usually having to do with the placement of blades on boots.  This will require patience but I will get there.  I possibly may take a class too.  But that would require a road trip.  With where my head is, that may be a good thing!
