Got myself a little treat yesterday, a 10-line wood type font. Can't wait to print with this super slabby face #woodtype #letterpress

Dirty but useful wood type, a portion of the alphabet showing A, E, F, I, J,, M, N, Q, R, U,X, And Y

Two pieces of wood type A's, the top one is dirty and the bottom one has been cleaned but still looks old

Those are good outdoor day goals. Get work done, smell real bad after, consume many carbs.

Happy New Tympan Day! I changed the packing on my press for the printing of the ATF Newsletter cover so I have a fresh surface for perfect prints from the newly cast type. So satisfying. #letterpress #newtympanday

Here to second the picking suggestion! I've got a few jars left from a big haul, so delicious.

Make a bad flyer yourself! Trade an artist some home-baked bread to make you a flyer! Pay an artist even a little bit to make one! Anything is better.

Well, it is, but etsy doesn't care as long as they get their cut

Anyone know if there is an updated covid shot coming out? I want to re-up for school and can't find any recent info. Have a query in with my Dr but haven't heard yet.

We've had multiple rounds of downpour minus the doom up here, got stuck out in the shop during the last one

Printing up some of these for my classroom this semester, as I encourage my students to go fully analog and work with their hands and their brains. I might run some in blue tomorrow. 3 sizes of wood type, including a hand-carved replacement "I". #letterpress #analog #woodtype

Trying to look up reference photos of raccoons for a card, and it is GRIM trying to image search for anything real. So many garbage AI pictures. The internet has become unusable.

I have been working hard the last few years to always say metal type or typemetal at the urging of my mentors; I was introduced to it as lead type but we can make change!
