My New Press

I search far and wide, high and low for my (she has yet to be named) press. When I finally found my Adana 5x8 on Craiglist I was so excited. I could not wait to get it home and play around.

But like so many times in life my excitement was short lived when I realized I would have to replace some vital pieces. Off I went on another blind (I am totally new to this) search for my new chase (frame thingy), rollers and a whatever else caught my fancy. I decided instead of spend too much time checking out ebay/craiglist/briar press I would go straight to the source. I ordered my parts from Caslon. They have aquired the rights to the Adana press and now offer new and used product. My order came the other day and I FINALLY have a complete press! PS Caslon was amazing and my order arrived within days all the way from jolly ol' England!
