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.
