    I used to work with print making at a letterpress museum and was maybe one of two or three people under 50 years old in my country who knew the craft. So happy whenever i see other people getting in to traditional print making. Would be awesome to see you carve some wooden type so you can print different words and sentences. I once spent around 2000 hours hand setting and printing a book in 50 copies. Lots of work but i am so happy i have a copy of the book in my book shelve now.

    Tip for printing an engraving: make sure you give your paper a good long soak, and get a THICK piece of sturdy (preferably real wool) felt. And remember to file the edges of your printing plate otherwise you'll cut through the paper.

    • @eatenkate
      @eatenkate 4 года назад +6

      Yeah it's super expensive... Boesner has 'kupferdruckpapier but they only seem to sell per package', if you want to buy loose sheets just go to any art supply store and ask for kupferdruckpapier. Basically the paper needs to have fibers that are long enough so it doesn't fall apart when it's wet, or be so thin that the printing process will tear it apart. Standard A4 paper is exactly what you don't want - thin and fragile with short fibers.

  • @NastyNixels
    @NastyNixels 3 года назад

    Uri, you are an accomplished craftsman, designer, and engineer. I laud you on your effort and offer a couple of points to help you in printing.
    The purpose of the screw is to deliver force to the center of the platen, and that force radiates out to the edge of the platen. Because the force is in the center, the pressure decreases quickly as it goes out to the edge. The platen you made may deflect and bow upwards at the edges when you tighten the screw. Usually platens are built up to give them dimensional stability.
    The screw you have used is quite small in diameter, and that means you won't have much pressing power out at the edge. If you look at a wooden common press similar to pre-19th century, you'll see that the screw diameter is quite large in comparison to your screw. Even though yours is metal, and the thread pitch is different, it is no match for the flat pitch and diameter of the wooden screw.
    Good luck with all your builds. I will enjoy looking at your other work as I've just been told about you.

    My first time watching any of your videos. I'm so impressed!
    Also: so fun when you say "yeah baby" about your woodworking in 2:53.
