I know that I’d like to try to do some letterpress and woodcuts. I did linoleum blocks in high school and enjoyed that. Sourcing some natural linoleum for that. Delrin has been discussed as a good material for doing letterpress, embossing, whatever. The thread on printing fabric with woodblocks in India was an eyeopener. I have pinned this idea: of using an old laundry mangle for a press but also this gearing setup to help me understand how a press would work. It’s hard to focus. However, to make it easy. I have a cider press that will be just fine for small runs so I won’t have to have a press, but I’m looking. I have collected lots of old liturgical and religious books that have beautiful illustrations.
