Still on the trail, but nothing in hand yet. I did make two phone calls to my friend about chase beds and ink disks this past week, and received promises of "I'll find out and get back to you soon."
I'm sorry - and…"

I never made it to Rhode Island. That trip was planned just before Super Storm Sandy "blew through" and stopped everything in its tracks around here. It was weeks before we had power restored, and after cleaning up and…"

Hi all--I'm very new to this medium, and a friend just gave me (!) a Kelsey 5x8 tabletop press that was sitting in her basement. It doesn't have a chase bed or a chase, and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck tracking down replacement chases. I know I can get a new one fabricated (there's someone over on Briar who makes them from wood), but I'd love to find an original if possible. Any leads would be great. Thanks so much! -NicoleSee More
