Today we finished shifting the heavy metal map cases out of the press room, and we are now ready to clean, paint, and otherwise outfit it for production.  Still a long way to go–the Washington press is still in pieces (working on it), and the Vandercook will need some TLC.  But the stage is set, so to speak, and I still have hopes that I’ll get one or both presses in working condition this fall.  The room is small–only about 75 square feet, but we have heavy duty shelving just outside the room for supplies and equipment (paper, ink, furniture, etc.).
