Somedays I feel like I’m a bit crazy. I’ve arranged to add a new press to the Iron Leaf family and she’s a whopper, coming in at just over 1500 lbs. My two current presses, both tabletops (a Kelsey 6 x 10 and a Nolan Proof Press — the presses on the left side of the photo), have served me well, but I have kept my eye out for a larger press. A Chandler and Price 10 x 15 (right side of photo) came up for sale in Minnesota and it seemed like the next logical equipment addition. I’ve convinced my dad and boyfriend to help me move the press this weekend and then try to figure out where to put something that large. I’ve got some plans in the works, but if anyone knows of any studio spaces in the area, let me know!
