Here are some of the kind words that I have received from printmakers about the plans. They are all very much appreciated !
Thanks to all,

"Thank you very much. It was many years ago that I got the plans from you and built the press, and I am impressed by your attention so far down the road. I really appreciate your help on this. And very much appreciate your plans to begin with. I would otherwise never been able to afford an intaglio press this size. Thank you".

"Well, the project has been successfully completed. I decided to construct two presses, as another family member needed one also.
We now look forward to many printings with these robust units."

"I built a press for myself in 1975 (I'm 63) and just sold it because it was too big. I wanted a smaller tabletop model. I love building my own tools and equipment. I wish I had your plans 35 years ago. They're very nice and well thought out. Having built a press of my own design I know what's important and where the problems lie. From what I can see you've done a great job."

"Hi Doug - a big thumbs up to you and your hard work in helping printmakers succeed and print all over the globe. As a retired machinist I can really appreciate your work - just wish I had not sold my CNC machine shop before I got into printmaking. I could have been pumping these things out pretty easy with the shop I had. "
