Letterpress Restored and Running

This past spring I restored my art departments 1930's Vandercook No. 2 Proof Press and am currently putting it back into use!

Here we are a few images that show the before and after state of the press and the first post-restoration run which happens to be my name that will be created into tags for my art. For a more indepth look into the restoraton check out this link www.catjepson.blogspot.com under the letter press tab.
