I was wrong! What is a paper making deckle?!

The struggles of being self taught... but hey, learn from your mistakes, right! I recently learned I mixed up the names for deckle and mould in at least two videos! But the info out there is not super straight forward, so I went down the rabbit hole researching deckle and moulds and figured I'd take you guys on the journey too!

You probably came across this information anyways, but just wanted to let you know: i guess this word (deckle) comes from german. A "Deckel" is something you put on top of pots, pans, buckets, toilets. It means "lid", and since the most credit of inventing the paper press goes to johannes gutenberg, who was german, it would make sense that it just means "lid", which is the top part

Amount of time given for finding out the meaning and information about it is really impressive 👏👏

[@FluffyJackie]

Well as a German with the word "Deckel" in her vocabulary, which just means cover, lid or top, I'm just gonna ignorantly assume that the deckle is on top.

[@marlinboudreau983]

You are totally right.

[@zero0o0o0oo0o0o]

Lol I might actually remember which one is which now. Thank you.

[@MatthewPorosky]

Thank you for this!

So the deckle frames the sheet but the wire cloth w/ thicker wires for the water mark is the mold?

[@user-ch1gc3yy2y]

Mold sets the sheet form(and virtually it can be any contour), deckle is a mesh sieve and flat to disperse material evenly.

[@kjellkanin]

So for a newbie, what is the purpose of it? I just ordered a frame yesterday without the deckle part because I couldn't see how that extra cost would be of any use for me. Did I make a poor choice?

Just grow some tobacco and roll it in one of the leaves.

​@@neoone9820now I know I'm gonna sound young for this, but maybe they were going to smoke something other than tobacco? 🎩 I shall exit stage right

[@neoone9820]

@@thatonellamawhoissoobsesse8138 ok young fellow. Have you ever heard of blunts? The term refers to using tobacco leaves to roll other herbs.
