Summerhill Letterpress

 

Plans (literally) and workflow breakdown are underway now for a new home for our  vintage (1906) Chandler & Price letterpress. 

This will be a small footprint structure (seems crude to refer to it as a shed) - just 12' x 16'. Inside will be space for the press, a layout table, Bobby Tozer's leather chair for reading and pondering new projects.  There will likely be a small locked (library) bar for visitors - as well as a narrow sleeping loft for wayward teenagers seeking to expand their horizons.

Building permit is now approved, concrete work (slab foundation and nearby washed aggregate courtyard) done and framing in-process.

As we've left the Bad Dog Inn behind, a  new name seems to be needed - and 'Summerhill' is the obvious choice.

We're shooting to have the press transported (from Tacoma) and on the concrete floor by September 1st, 2021.  Stay tuned for updates. \mf
