New!

 

It has been extremely busy in the shop, but I still managed to bring in a new piece of equipment! This is a roller backer, and is used in bookbinding to speed up the shaping of spines. Like most of my machines it is old, heavy, and a wonderful example of late 19th century engineering.

 I am working on fixing up my new charming Daughaday Improved Model 1 press. The Model 1 was introduced in 1873, and at 125 lbs it is quite a hefty press for it's small size.
