As you previously read, we broke a part.

Since then, we took a shot at using the other press.  That didn’t go quite so well.   We have a bit more learning to do on that one, and probably some refurbishment.  We got lots of inky paper out of it though.  Very inky paper wrinkled and torn up.  Then I turned a knob.  There was a noise from the innards, and the suction system stopped sucking.

I’m not allowed to touch knobs anymore.

Our replacement part came.  It wasn’t quite perfect, but Will filed it down and it fit just right.  The Chief is back up and running.  We set about printing stuff for the May box.

Then the Plate Burner quit working.  We think (hope) it’s just the bulb.  I guess we’ll find out when it gets here.

In the meanwhile, we cobbled together a box for May, and it’s been shipped out.  You all should be getting them very soon.  We’re already looking into the June box.  Let us know if you have any suggestions.
