My marvellous old Chandler & Price letterpress is on the move again, and this time we learned from our mistakes! Last time was very nearly a disaster...
We hired a tow-truck guy to lift it straight into the Penske (he looked skeptical when he saw it, but everything worked fine) and 3000-odd miles later, Nathan and Dad backed the truck up to a raised storage unit and used the pallet jack to wheel it right in. So: no 3am terrors and no endless physics questions.
Much better!

I was wondering about your press as I've been reading about your cross-country trip! I'm glad it was an event much less fraught with peril!
ReplyDeleteYour move looks utterly daunting - a toddler AND a letterpress! You must be relieved it's (nearly?) over. Loved your Stop Driving sign, btw - it's been doing the rounds with Paul's bicycle buddies. And "artistic taxidermy" really cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous piece of equipment.
ReplyDeleteDo you have close-up photos of it?
I do...somewhere in my computer. I'll have to dig them out!
ReplyDeleteWell Done! But I have to ask.....Doesn't it have to be mored one more time???
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!
ReplyDeleteAnd Sue... Yes, it does :(
