lovelyduality - We do have some good-hearted fun in our Discussion forums which contributes to the diversity and interest of Briar Press.

In case you are still interested in posting a photo, try the Help section. The blue link can be found on the right of the gray bar at the top of every page or at http://www.briarpress.org/help . Look under “General Technical Questions.” I’m sure once you post the photo you will receive some helpful advice.

Mmmm. I didn’t know entry level letterpress equipment could be so tasty. After a 5 year apprenticeship with the potato, you graduate to a can crusher, thus earning the title “Master Printer”. Merry Christmas All!

Unmarked, but obviously a tabletop model.

I’ve got one of those - can I use crisco with this model?

Happy New Year!
