Thanks for the new upload! And I'm sure I speak for millions of people when I say we would love to see a new shop tour video.

The gizmosity of this fancy juice squeezer is amazing - it embosses your juice and everything! The Jucero people couldn’t improve on this design 🍊🍊🍊

Makes me think of the Rockford files. Can't wait to watch!

Great episode! good luck finding letters, though I imagine that the 3D prints are already on their way.

squid ink makes all the diference …id like to see all modern business cards printed with hot cheetoo dust lettering …and then printed on edible foam card stock …dare to dream!

Dear Dr. Eric Restoration Geek, I enjoyed this video - mostly because it reminded me of a graphics class I took in college, which required each us to come up with something to print using a letterpress that was similar to this one, but much larger. I chose Ecclesiastes 9:10. Don't ask me why, but I think that verse reflects your work ethic. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." Yeah. Cheerful, huh?

Oh, a machine that doesn't want to kill you? How refreshing! :-D

My Mom's family is from Seymour, I'll ask if they know any Cloughs. Though they didn't move there until the 70's

Nice one! Hey speaking of the fires of Mt Doom, guess who touched the Ring TWICE in a major continuity error? Page 58 of the Fellowship, my friends.

Clough probably rhymes with tough, rough.

Jim from wiserBees

Clough is a common midwestern name. Rhymes with Ruff I used to live in Southern IL and very common.

Please make more videos. I need them for my personal mental sanity.

Any chance the opening line was a reference to Trogdor? No? Hehe…nevermind…forget I said anything.

I enjoyed this project so much: Over 60 years ago, I learned to mind. my p's and q's on a press several sizes larger than this one bur with the same general arrangement, it was made in the 1890s. My first job after school, was cleaning the type and the press. Then I learned to break down the forms and put the type back Ito its font case. we also worked with woodcut area as well as linoleum cuts... also printed from copper engravings and once did a big run of letterhead that was a steel engraving that filled the whole top of each sheet. The company had been using that same steel engraved block of over 100 years do a bigger on next time!🧐
