Ink and Iron Letterpress

Ink and Iron Letterpress Letterpress printing service specializing in vintage axe and tool advertising prints.

It’s nice to find letterpress tools at a tool meet. Not terribly common, but there is usually a few items. Thompson Cabinet line gauge and an ink knife, or likely putty knife, but it’ll work fine for ink. $1 each sounded just fine to me

But of teaching today. Letterpress talk/demonstration with our town’s 5th grade classes. We printed kindness posters for their classrooms, and all students printed a bookmark on the Kelsey.

Let there be light in the printshop! After my dad helped with some wiring I added these shop lights, massively improves the shop. I’ll probably add 6 more to fully light this whole section of the basement eventually.

Almost finished with the anvil stand, just need to add some tool loops. This turned out pretty well and is a lot more stable (and taller) than the stump I was using. Still light enough I can drag it out when I want to use it.

I finally got the Miller Type High Gauge cleaned up and down in the print shop this last week. Cleaned the rust,
Left the paint alone since it’s in fairly good condition. Also had to replace the fixture and gauge with new ones from Starrett. All in all a very useful addition to the shop! #918

All in a nights work! The 8x12 is in place with a drip pan underneath, and I brought the rouse miterer down and have that in place as well. Plenty of space for the 10x15 eventually and more type cabinets. Eventually the whole shop will be down here. Just need to attach the delivery board, level the press and check a few things and it’s ready to run!

Productive day! Worked on other stuff plus ended the day in the basement with a bit of demolition and started the print shop setup. Now to fill the large cabinet with cases from the garage.
Also, ignore the Hamilton sticker, they aren’t in my good graces right now until they sort some things out.

A successful moving day for printing equipment. The other half of a 8x12 came home, along with a cutter and a type cabinet and some miscellaneous. Now to see if I can get it all squared away this summer.

First time printing a personal project in a really long time! It’s been a bit too long. Second half of this project will be printing Mann axe heads in the center area. Pretty awesome stuff!
