Comment on King Size Four Poster Ball Bed for Andy by Eric Lehnert

Holy meditative ball post…
Would be really neat to see a pillar of clear coated edge grain spheres
Wonder what Dali would have made if he had a shop bot?

Comment on pen and ink drawing of Miguel Rivera by Mike Lyon

None of this is ‘hand drawn’ the way you mean — it’s all ‘programmatic’ — look deeply into this site and you’ll discover lots of descriptions and video of the process as it unfolds…

Miguel Rivera can be reached through the Kansas City Art Institute, I believe, where he’s currently chair of printmaking.

Amazing work. Is that really all hand drawn? You have quite a bit of patience and talent.
Do you have a link to Miguels web site? I keep getting errors to his links.
Thank you.

Love those bones – my favorite subject, though the killing fields were not… But, the bones themselves – what great shapes and the negative spaces. Oooolala!

Beautiful, and well written step-by-step. Thanks for including your emotional responses to the work; a rare glimpse into a real artistic mind. Beautiful piece. I am floored by the lathe-work.

WTF, I have no way of knowing how to close my mouth when I look at this. How does your brain wrap around what you see? I am truly in awe of your work.

Comment on Large format Woodblock Printing Press by Mike Lyon

Mike Lyon — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:21:52 +0000

Thanks so much for your kind comment! BWC publishes complete engineering info for their line of extrusions, rails, glides, etc. contact them directly – your press will be different than mine, I’m sure… Mine was a pretty challenging project. Your own myriad decisions will be based on your own skill set, needs, and ambition — enjoy — it’ll be a big chunk of your life!

Bed is eighth inch aluminum sheet screwed into the rails outside the roller path. It’s a bit Mickey Mouse but works – sags a bit do could have been stouter, I guess – everything is a trade-off – I needed to be able to lift and assemble it all single handed so weight was a big consideration.

Rollers were nickel plated steel. Should have been stainless.

That’s about it. I have no construction drawings which would be meaningful to anyone but me… Most appear on my site, honestly…

If you have any specific questions, let me know and I’ll try to help.

Mike, I’ve impressed, not only by the press you’ve built, but by your work too. Remarkable.

I just ordered plans from Doug Forsythe to build a press and I’ve also become enchanted with the idea of building one similar to yours. Are there any more specific details regarding the construction the press that you’d be willing to pass on? In particular: the BWC rail guides size/specs and bed info.

Many thanks,

John Snyder
