Albion press rails derusted
Albion press rails painted black.
The cleaned up and painted platen.
The albuon press recontructed and working.
A few more of the Albion press rescued from being a garden ornament. It's now a working press.

A derelict printing press piled up as a garden ornament.
Rescuing the press with a trolley.
The platen from the press was fill of leaves and insects.
The whole piston mechanism was seized solid. Every nut and bolt rusted into place.
Last year I found out that a friend had a printing press as a garden ornament. Once I'd seen it I knew I had to rescue it and he very kindly donated it.

Vintage trays of wooden letterpress type.
A small set of adana drawers containing metal letterpress type.
An adana 8x5 desktop platen press.
As my first post on BlueSky here's a few pics from our move to Kirkcudbright. It took me a fair while to set up my typography studio.
