Etching Press Sale Enquiries: johnnymulvay@vodafone.co.nz
Engineering completed, the new press awaits weld cleanup and paint and construction of the wooden press bed runners and the bed and shelving
The new press will end up looking something like this one which was made from the mangle used by my Grandmother on the Mulvay family farm.
The new steam punk etching press! Won't be selling this beauty, it's a keeper..
what's your asking price for the press? do you still have it?
ReplyDeleteHi. I am wanting $3,000 for the press, all complete with felts but it is not finished yet, will be a couple of weeks as I am busy with all sorts of stuff at the mo.
ReplyDeleteFreight could be an issue as it is very heavy, where are you at?
Still available?
ReplyDeleteHi haavard
ReplyDeletehave sold the one you see here and am making 3 more, one for me and one for you..
contact me at johnnymulvay@vodafone.co.nz or keep an eye on this blog for updates
John, new press is a beauty! Thanks for sharing. Just came across an old mangle myself, though it doesn't have quite as much character and antiqui-ness as yours. Any tips for one starting the journey?
ReplyDeleteTip: the diameter of the rollers could be made smaller to compensate for the thickness of the press bed and felts. This will give the full travel of the constant mesh variable cogs and allow you to print from thicker plates or wood blocks
