Bottle-Jack Press
This weekend's fun project with Chippets was building this printmaking press so she wouldn't need to hand-rub all her linocuts. Go large.
The design is inspired by Peter Baker and Andy Tanguay. A big thanks to Andy for passing along his extra steel strut, used to make the columns of this.
[2017 Update! It seems loads of people end up here after googling about printmaking. I just want to re-emphasize that after this we needed to modify the design, adding a stiffer steel channel at the top of the bottle jack.]
