Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Printing Workshops at Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. Spring was about as a dozen designers, artists and printers gathered at the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. I had the joy and privilege of assisting Jim Moran with this. Seeing the vast collection and how it was made can familiarize you with the space and get ideas popping. Where Jim had also put out a selection of Hatch Show Print. Posters. Excellent fodder for printmaking! A brief but information-packed intro...

Final Winchell Laser Cut | WNYBAC Wood Type
https://typeproject.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/final-winchell-laser-cut
Adventures in Wood Type Creation! Final Winchell Laser Cut. Today was the last day of cutting letterforms for the Winchell font with the laser cutter. Everything went fairly well, but a slight misalignment caused the loss of a few capital letters (C, G, O, N, M). Luckily I had another small piece of wood, and although it’s mahogany and not maple, I used it to cut clean versions of those caps. On December 5, 2009 at 7:45 AM Comments (1).

Just Plane Right | WNYBAC Wood Type
https://typeproject.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/just-plane-right
Adventures in Wood Type Creation! After planing the 4″ wide board, we ripped it down the center with the table saw, giving us two strips of just over 7′ that were close to 2″ wide. These pieces were then sent through the planer to achieve the standard dimension of 10 line type (1.666″). On December 3, 2009 at 5:29 AM Leave a Comment. To TrackBack this entry is:.

Stick Up | WNYBAC Wood Type
https://typeproject.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/stick-up
Adventures in Wood Type Creation! Spent the better part of this afternoon adhering the letterforms to the substrate wood – about half of lower case letters are complete. After they’re complete I’ll be using a printer’s saw to slice the blocks apart. More on that saw soon. On December 10, 2009 at 6:23 PM Leave a Comment. To TrackBack this entry is:.

Specimen Success! Requisite Failure! | WNYBAC Wood Type
https://typeproject.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/specimen-success-requisite-failure
Adventures in Wood Type Creation! I’ve been busily plugging away at the final stages of the wood type: cutting the letters into individual blocks, shellacking the pieces, and finally, trying to print the first specimen sheet. Shellacking proved fast and simple – I used a fine bristled quality oil paint brush and immediately buffed the shellac into the surface of the wood (in the manner of a French Polish. I selected a beautiful grey tone Canal Paper. On December 15, 2009 at 6:51 PM Comments (1). You are ...

Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Cracks me up every time. My friend Luisa posted this recently. Would you believe (working retail) that I have had to work with customers like this? Sunday, April 25, 2010. I hate infomercials but. I love those funny dramatizations where the people can't get the simplest tasks right. Someone out there is mind-linked with me and has made this funny montage of incompetence. Enjoy! Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Long time no type. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Findings of the web.
