I am very impressed with the presses you built, especially the mini. Have you put together any tutorials to help the non-mechanical among us duplicate your presses?

Hey Marti, No I haven't put together a tutorial.. the presses are fairly simple to make...and all the components can be found in a local home depot..i can walk you through if your feeling adventurous

Could you walk me through it, too? I'm a printmaker who teaches at a Community College with no printmaking facilities yet I'm always trying to find ways of bring printmaking in. This would be great way to expand beyond the stamp and wooden spoon printing.

Hi,
I'm both interested and impressed by your presses. Did they work well? What sort of size print could they handle? Were they strong enough to use for collographs/ etchings?
I would love to know more about how you made them and how much they cost.

Hi there,
I'm most impressed by your presses- could you give a little more detail how you made them and how much they cost in the end?
Thanks
