[BKARTS] Building your own press...

[Jackie Poutasse <jackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kathy,

Here are a few links for building your own press,

I have some instructions for making a simple portable press on my site at 
http://www.tjbookarts.com/guides.htm

Also, here's one from the tutorials section of the Book Arts List 
http://www.philobiblon.com/nigropress/index.html

Another one, not so portable but easily buildable, 
http://www.woodblock.info/bottlejack/index.html

And another one, http://www.mossworks.com/techniques.html

Hope this helps.
