#im dreading graduating solely because i wont have access to 3 pristine letterpresses and a stunning etching press

Sometimes (often) I look at letterpresses and etching presses on ebay or Facebook marketplace and giggle and kick my feet over how beautiful and incredible they all are. Most of them are extremely expensive but today I found a letterpress for $100...it's in absolutely horrible condition, massive, and 4 hours away but if it was in my town it'd be mine already, I think it'd be very cool to repair an old press like that. I scour antique malls for presses every time I go. I am categorically unhinged about printmaking but like, in cycles, and right now? Hoo boy is it taking up my whole brain.
