What an underrated channel! I can't believe you only have 826 subs!

[@InternationalPrintingMuseum]

Wow, thank you!

[@terrywall6922]

This intro was very informative. I've visited the museum many time but always missed this demonstration. Thank you for putting on video.

[@zestkauaifilms]

Is there more? Would love to see other presses. These three videos have been so much fun!

[@InternationalPrintingMuseum]

Yes, one more on typesetting machines will be out soon.

Mark - It's always a pleasure to see your videos - and know of your work - and restorations at IPM. I've been doing letterpress printing for nearly 60 years, and always find your videos to be informative and accurate. This is the best and although I now call my print shop a "Museum Print Shop" and have shared my knowledge with many new printers over the years, I must bow and defer to you as the expert. BTW - I recognize some of the framed photos in the background - Sam Clemens, the outdoor print shop and, of course, the Miles Nervine Proof Press. Mine has "Miles Heart Cure" stamped on the end... Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your videos. They have made research for my novel much easier.

[@InternationalPrintingMuseum]

We're glad you like them. Out of curiosity, what are you researching?

[@SuperOlds88]

Where can I get some of that Nervine?
