Moving the press

We picked up the press from Lowestoft yesterday...In a big old van that Norman borrowed from work.. Many thanks to Howard.
  
It is a beast of  a thing and weighs an absolute ton, my daughters partner Saul helped Norman move it into the studio this morning. Many thanks Saul.
 
Sorry this photo's a bit fuzzy
What  a lump, it is so heavy, needless to say I was less than useless with the loading and unloading. There is also a large sheet of steel, the press bed, but that made a boring photograph.

The people that we got it from where lovely Johnathan Anderson..You can see his work here... http://www.jonathanandersson.co.uk/ and Clare Johnson you can see her work here.... http://www.clarejohnson.co.uk.

Norman has just had a quick look at it and the electrics are in a hell-of-a-mess, as I said in an earlier post, it was sold on Ebay as broken....It's just as well that the intention was to change it back to a manual press.

  3. How exciting!!! But the wait is going to be the true test of your patience!
    A new studio in progress and a press to be reconditioned, how sweet is that!
