The Printing Press Project

Luckily I have a fantastically cool brother in law. We were sort of made from the same stone or something. When something old, sturdy, and possibly outdated is sitting around, we automatically want to learn how to use it, to do it the old way. And really we want to have it. We usually ask.

Having Kevin as a brother is a lucky thing for a couple of reasons. First off, it means we can cheer each other on when most of the people around us are saying, "hey man, what are you gonna do with that stuff? where you gonna put it?.

Second, it means we have alot of cool ideas and we can do some of it together.


Up at Mike and Colleens house, there was a press. It was Kevin's from a while ago and he did what we always do: he showed interest in it and someone said. "I've been waiting for you kid. Go ahead and take it." So he did.

It sat up in the garage for a while, but no worries, its already old and getting old isn't really hurting it. Then yesterday we packed it up and brought it down to the Ewing Street Studio(our house). We organized the letters, numbers, and punctuation marks until late. Then we made a matchstick proof.

Now we have another project. It is all ready to go and we can make some things like cards, small posters, invitations, and so much more. If our adventure coincided with you craving a good old letter-pressed card, let us know and we can probably make it happen.
