excelente, varias maderas son mucho mas resistentes que el acero, me refiero a la resistencia a la presión, mientras el acero se dobla a una presión de 1000 kilos, una pieza de madera con mismas dimensiones necesita mas presión para romperse, mirar que mientras uno se dobla otro se flexiona o rompe, ademas las maderas son mas ecológicas y todo el proceso para su obtención genera menos contaminación, ecológicamente una buena opción, evidentemente no podemos remplazar todo de metal por todo de madera pero existen opciones excellent, various woods are much more resistant than steel, I mean the resistance to pressure, while the steel at a pressure of 1,000 kilos, a piece of wood with same dimensions need more pressure to break, look bends while one another flexes or bends breaks, besides the woods are more ecological and the whole process for obtaining it generates less pollution, ecologically a good choice obviously can not replace all metal wood all but options exist
+José Angel Zepeda Peña And wood looks so much nicer and it's way easier to machine and make large things in a shorter amount of time. And it's a lot more forgiving if you make a mistake.
Charles Moore I haven't used heavy weight papers but I know it will do deep relief because with soft backing, I almost pushed the type right through the paper I was using. With up to 4 tons of pressure spread over a small amount of type surface area, there is no problem doing what you want.
Ah, but then it would not longer be affordable, which is my point with my equipment! I wish I could provide all that's needed but then not very many people would be able to afford it and shipping would be a nightmare trying to keep all those parts from getting destroyed. I'm hoping that folks will be inventive and come up with their own frisket/tympan combination, or just do without...this isn't a production press anyway : >)
AffordBindEquipment Good point. Anyone willing to invest the time and money into one of these would surely be able to make some masking/registration solution. Even something as simple as a paper folder should do the job. BTW, I love your book press+sewing frame idea.
I have not done it but it would seem there would be enough pressure. I think packing would be really important. I'm not sure why but lino cuts are usually run through a 2 cylinder machine that presses the print as it travels through. This puts all the pressure over a small thin line so the PSI would be really high. With my press, you could be pressing the whole print at one time. With a full size print (13x13) that comes to a max of 47 PSI. Not sure what's needed...of course if the prints are smaller, then the PSI goes way up. Hope this helps!
It's old-timey looking. I like it!
impressed. Great job with the novel press!
That is brilliant!!
Cool machine!
Epic! Thanks for sharing.
tolles Video Danke.......

really inspiring. thank you for sharing :)
Have you done any heavyweight papers to get some deep relief of the letters?
Charles Moore I haven't used heavy weight papers but I know it will do deep relief because with soft backing, I almost pushed the type right through the paper I was using. With up to 4 tons of pressure spread over a small amount of type surface area, there is no problem doing what you want.
Now for some frisket and tympan, and you'll have a fully functional common press!

DO you have a video how to make it youself?
I do not have any info on a do it yourself project. I build these in a commercial cabinet shop with all the necessary equipment.
Do you think this would work when printing linocuts?

Shipping to the UK, how much?
Sorry for the late reply. Contact me through the website.
This press now comes with/chase/tympan (make your own frisket).
