Hydraulic relief printing press day one. I've now got most of the materials and have started cutting and glueing. The steel profiles are de-greased. Every single heavy object in the workshop is now sitting on top of the two pieces of blockwood kitchen worktop that make up the bed (anvil, lead acid batteries...). I've glued and cut to size the horizontal beam that the hydraulic jack is going to press against. There will be a bit more cutting and glueing tomorrow then the fun bit starts.
