I bought the Western (Vandercook) proofing press mentioned towards the end of this video from Les over the Christmas period and I am absolutely delighted with it. Les has/is a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to deal with. He was an absolute gent and helped with every stage of the purchase including lending me items to unload the press when I got back home. I look forward to working with Les and his dog Chalky in the future I cannot recommend enough!

Krikey! Is there a larger collection of bindery equipment in the world. You should open a museum!
