Jessica, Thanks so much for the contact info! Would love to get my press up and running.

And welcome to the (extended) neighborhood! Did you move Manifesto from Holyoke to W-S? I lived in Springfield and Easthampton, MA for a few years (2001-2004), now I’m  in Asheville, NC.

No taboos to break Bryan–we have about 70 menfolk who are members! So big welcomes.

Nancy – If you don’t find a buyer for these parts soon, please contact me through my web site; I have inquiries for these parts pretty often – which is why I’m planning on making new ones available to the community as soon as I can.- Alan Runfeldt – http://ExcelsiorPress.org

Wonderful! Maybe next time thank you cards! Or something else fun! Once we get this one wrapped up we can come up with another!Angela

I’d love to get involved for the the next go round!

Hi, I’ve been cutting Millboard and Davey board with a retractable blade Olfa knife for years. I have a 15 year old green self healing mat as well. They work really well. I cannot remember the site, but there is someone who makes blank, craft covered notebooks for printers and artists. I’ll see if I can find them.Akemi.

Hi there, we don’t have a shuttle, but so far it looks like there will be plenty of drivers willing to give you a ride. We’ll try to get printers at each hotel in touch with each other to work out ride shares. If this doesn’t work out, then yes – there will be a shuttle. Have no fear, we will get you to Printers Hall!See you this summer!

Hi-I have a few chases and I think an extra chase bed for a Kelsey 5×8 press that I am planning to sell.  I inherited a 5 x 8 press and am now upgrading to a Golding Official 4.  I also have some new rollers that I have never used.  I am not sure about the ink disk- but I can look tonight and see.Nancy

A swap where we make extra items for an auction? then everyone gets something + we have something to auction? or sell?~Angela, Ladybug Press
