I posted with a video of the press fully functional but decided to post the pictures of getting the bed in place as well. It wasnt pretty by any means.

It wasn't pretty but my parents helped me jack up the cylinder with blockd so that there was enough room to slide the bed in place. Three years in the making. Just ordered magnets. Probably post the pictures on a seperate post.

Three years in the making.

I got my first die made. I was hoping the letters would be large enough to take up the space, but i assume the length of it is a deciding factor. I cant wait to use it anyway. And ill get to use a printers saw to cut it down.

Omg! I found this tonight! So delicious! I live lemin bars! I just ate one.

I acquired all of my grandfather's letterpress materials. He used to print a small local newspaper and I found this cowboy in the items I am still organizing. It needs to be mounted. Does anyone have suggestions where I should get it mounted? My goal is to get a plate made with the newspaper header and print it with the cowboy. I'm also not sure all this detail will print.

Joined my first Volunteering opportunity for Fort Totten Days. I learned a lot, showed a bunch of people how the presses work. And had fun. Most photos are mine, some are not.

I swapped out my tube, aired it up and took a quarter mile ride before my ride got bumpy. My tire was bulged out. Do i need a new tread also? Or is it just in there incorrectly?

I was on my way to Medora and has spare time, so I detoured off the main path a little. Found this. No other info listed near by. Just thought it was neat.
