I am beyond excited! I have been searching for an awesome proof/composting press for YEARS! This stunning Vandercook and a similarly awesome paper cutter are coming to live with me in my basement print shop/bindery/mad scientist lair. I spent part of the morning rearranging😍 I will shelter these babies until I can’t print anymore in 50 or so years and they will go to another printer and spend many more lifetimes making art and books. That is part of the magic of having and using old tools - they will outlive your grandchildren! #classiciron #bookbinder #letterpress #vandercook #proofpress #madscientistlair #basementworkshop #classiciron #oldiron #oldtools #letterpressprinting (at West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caxd-0Gvl2j/?utm_medium=tumblr
