Looks like our visit from Paul Moxon was not a moment too soon. That flat space Paul is pointing at? Should be a nice smooth wheel. We found out why our grippers weren't coming up well. Cross you fingers we can find someone who can machine us a new one. Job one today.
The workshop was really great, as was Paul's talk on the history of the Vandercook press. We had no idea that the Vandercooks lived here in Evanston, and that R.O. was a Northwestern grad. The Vandercook Centenary Bundle will be up at our shop through April. If you want to see what 100 (ish) printers did to celebrate the 100th birthday of the presses we love, feel free to drop by for a visit. We really love visitors. If we haven't met yet, we'll be easy to spot. We'll be the ones with a rag in one hand and a can of WD40 in the other.
