How does a Gutenberg printing press work?

How does a Gutenberg printing press work?
In this video our good friend John Sliffe demonstrates how a printing press would print a page of the Bible from the 1400s.
Johannes Gutenberg was from Mainz, Germany. He began experimenting in 1440. By 1450, he had a printing machine perfected and ready to use commercially: The Gutenberg press.
This reproduction printing press will be at the Tennessee Bible Museum for a few weeks. John is the Curator at the Enduring Word Museum in Weatherford, Texas.
Thank you John for demonstrating how the Gutenberg printing press works!

For such a simple concept, the impacts have been so amazing. I always imagined that there was more to it...

This is so cool. I wish I had these sort of skills. It is really awesome that the pages were sold individually too.

Movable type printing was first used in Dunhuang in Tang China in the second half of IX century and indeed initially applied several thousands wooden types of individual Chinese hieroglyphs. But because Dunhuang became a part of Uyghur Ganzhou Kingdom in Gansu (847-1035) and also bordered another Uyghur State- Idikut Turpan Kingdom (856-1369), Dunhuang printing houses soon started to print books in Uyghur script and on Uyghur language. They used movable wooden types of blocks engraved with only 26 Uyghur letters ( based on modified Sogdian script). Nevertheless, they used wooden types of engraved words, not of individual letters, so to print one book it was needed to use again several thousands movable types. Unfortunately, almost all Uyghur printed books of IX-XIII centuries, that survived till XX century, were destroyed and burnt out during Chinese " Cultural Revolution " 1966-1976 years.

This is such a wildly random comment, I have no idea what the HELL is going on. But I'm here for it.

This is one of the reasons why Sola Scriptura doesn't work.
