Hey there. So sorry about that! This channel isn't checked as often as it should be. Please feel free to send an email via this address for any questions www.theharebrainedpress.com/contact/

The name 'Harebrained' Press was the name given to our first major project that took over 6 years to complete, which at the time seemed foolish and overly ambitious :) Check out the website if you are interested in learning more www.harebrainedpress.com

Harry is one of the greats!

Thanks for you comment! Which model Pearl do you own? We restored this one a few years ago.

@@theharebrainedpress9326 - Mine's pretty much identical to yours. An old-style, 7 X 11", No.3 . - made in 1906. It's missing the drawers, but is otherwise in great shape. It didn't require any more than a good cleaning and a new set of rollers. It was rescued last year from an old newspaper office in Cayuga, Ontario, (in Canada) along with a lot of great type and other bits and pieces.

@@bell8541 That's brilliant! Yes, Joe Fazzio and Rick Hawkins helped us out immensely with some parts to get this one up and running again. My partner made the drawers and feed table from Tasmanian Oak. Such a great press to operate but not for the faint of heart! Does yours have an impression lever to stop the platen action? That is one feature that ours does not have which would come in handy and would be much safer to use.

@@theharebrainedpress9326 - No throw switch on mine either. I do such small runs of most things I just end up spinning the flywheel by hand a lot of the time so it's not a big issue.

Hi Chris. This is part of a larger project. You can check it out via the links in the description.

The size of the book tells a story. The end papers need all the help they can get in keeping this book integral. Reinforcing the middle with a hinge where they sewing goes is a brilliant solution to the distribution of the force of the text block.

Sure! The product is called Evasol, an archival variation on PVA. I will place a link to the product in the description for you :)

@@theharebrainedpress9326 thanks so much!🇨🇦

@@DeerheartStudioArts My pleasure. Thanks for the question and support.

Hi Hoseaistheone. Thanks for the comment and sorry if this was misleading. We are actually planning on making instructional videos (among other things) in the future. Harebrainedpress is a team of one person (and a helper who loads videos, lifts presses etc).. everything is done during spare time. We don't sell classes or directly promote anything and simply wanted to share some clips for the love of the craft. When the books are completed, they will be for sale via other methods. These videos are partially practice for making longer more complicated films.

Thanks for watching! The music credit is at the end: Antony Raijekov 'Chillout Me' I will add the credit to the description. Thanks!

Thanks, McTavish!

Thanks.
