Adana 8x5 printing press, an epic thrift shop find.

That bannister thing is to gently tap with a hammer to level the type in the form which is secured in the chase. The end pieces on the rollers are trucks. Lucky that you have good rollers.Wooden spoons are very often used to burnish the back of paper on an inked linoleum cut. The little clippy things are registration pins for holding the paper in the same place each time you print.

That's a nice charity shop find, I love the treasures you can find in them! Oh and erm... inside joke ;-)

[@HeyPatch]

Haha good joke, I know the one you’re thinking of. 😂😉 Yeah man me to, there is a LOT of rubbish but every now and then you can find an absolute gem. 😁 I’ve already restored this little beauty and gotten to good working condition (video of that will be out soon) then I gotta figure out how to properly use it 😅

[@Kateeeah]

Looking at buying my own! Can't wait to see your restoration video!

[@HeyPatch]

Thanks, the restoration is going good, just editing the video now. You can still buy them from www.adanaletterpress.co.uk but they are probably very expensive. Look around online and maybe you’ll find a bargain like it did. Even if it needs a little TLC. just try and make sure it’s got all the bits. Thanks for the comment and keep an eye out for the restoration video, I’ll try Ad get it up soon 👍

[@linocutmoon]

@@HeyPatch Did you ever finish editing that restoration video? I’d be keen to see it. 😊

[@HeyPatch]

@linocutmoon Yep I’ve done the editing, I’ve had to do a voice over for it and I’m rubbish at doing voiceovers. So I’ve been putting off uploading it. I’ll have to give the video and voiceover a final polish and just bite the bullet. Thanks for your interest, I will upload the video soon hopefully.

[@linocutmoon]

@@HeyPatch Most people are very critical of their own voiceovers, so I understand. But yeah, just bite the bullet and don't worry about it. I'm sure the letterpress community will love your video.

[@HeyPatch]

Thanks 😊 I’ll get it uploaded this weekend 👍 In the community tab on my channel there is a post with a sneak peek of the printing press. 😉
