That's the way it goes Peter... We get apprenticed, we learn, we perfect our trade. Then if we are lucky we get a long while to practice what we know, and pass on our skills. Then they want to make us retire! Such is life.
Thanks for this preview.. I will find the DVD I hope.
Fantastic. What an honour and inspiration to see a master craftsman at work. I can't help but think that if there were more people like you there would be less trouble in the world. A life well lived indeed, much respect!
They are called 'hand tools'. The ones that make gold lines are called 'rolls' and can be bought but are expensive. You can buy a small embossing machines to make labels. This is very useful and also a 'type holder' that holds a line of type. Brass type is expensive too but you can get by with just one set of upper case and lower case for medium books. I have Art Deco Compressed upper and lower. Peter has cabinets full of type and is always complaining her hasn't enough!

Was that the first folio? Awesome! Where does one get your DVD? I'd love to learn of your trade. Kudos.

It's very important that master craftsmen such as yourself pass along their knowledge to future generations, and for that I thank you.
