  New press stands on four legs!
This afternoon, the new press finally stands up on its own four legs and just after this photo was shot, I mounted the main end-plates and the bottom roller now sits safely in its bearings hanging in position on from the press rails... Everything has fit perfectly so far... I'm waiting for the inevitable 'disaster', of course, but it seems to be coming together incredibly quickly this week!


Mike Lyon takes a quick breath after assembling the press onto its legs.

Thanks, Julio! It IS so exciting to me, at least! I do have several images planned already, one a life-size reclining nude (Sara) on a messy bed, and the others all landscapes.
