That, my dears, is a press that has remained entirely untouched today. (And yes, you’re seeing that it’s still in the kitchen, too!) Just too much going on this fine Thursday to get it inked up for the first time, despite finally having all the necessary accoutrements on hand! Fortunately, I predict tomorrow morning will see some different results. Stay tuned for a fully inked press, new work, and more home-based productivity!
P.S. The subtitle of this post? “How many times can she use the word “busy” in her post titles?!?”

Hey there..
How do you resist the urge to not play with it everytime your in the kitchen? Must be an insane distraction!
I love the big round plate at the top too.. I’m assuming that’s what you ink up, with rollers going between that and the forme underneath? Or am i not even close?
Believe me, the temptation is really tough to resist! I figured I’d be a responsible businessperson first, though
and get my work done that I owed people before I made an inky mess of our kitchen!
And you’re absolutely right – the round plate at the top is the ink disc. I’ll try and get some video up here soon of me using the press so you can see the simplicity and incredible design & structure of the mechanics of it all. The disc rotates with each impression, every time you pull the lever down and the rollers come all the way up to pick up ink from the disc, so that it continuously reinks itself as you’re printing. These kinds of presses are amazing little pieces of machinery!
