Thank you for the series, I like the pro tips you give! Though not an artist (just a roleplaying game designer), I'll use linocut to make my business cards, and perhaps some simple illustrations. One suggestion about the bench hook: to better keep the linoleum block in place while turning it diagonally, why not make a gap in the top stopper wood piece?
Been watching a lot of linography videos tonight. Especially enjoying yours as your enthusiasm is perfect for making these first steps to greatness seem much less intimidating. That said, the registering- there are so many different methods I've seen, it really seems more complicated than it is. Just because of the broad arrange of approaches. Weird. Maybe I'm just weird.
Great video even 6 years later! Do you have advice for using ternes-burton pins with the registration jig that you made? I will be hand-printing with a baren and want to do some multi-block or reductions. Thank you for making this playlist series.
Hi! I would check out the latest video I posted (CMYK), I used a registration jig that I sell to align my block and then ternes pins for my paper. Good luck!
Why not just get in the practice of cutting indexes into the block itself. This is what wood block printers have done for hundreds of years. Works great.
+Stephen Gent that would work fine for sure, but you have the downside of losing some of the block real estate (which obviously a bigger block could solve). Lots of ways to accomplish the same goal for sure! Thanks for checking out the videos!

This is great. One of the better videos I've seen on the subject!
Hey thanks for your help! I finally got some scrap wood so I can make one of these!
