printing press update

[gfish]

This weekend corivax and I reassembled the ink-roller pivots and connecting rods on the printing press. It's nice to see visible progress as the number of primed parts grows, and with all these bearing surfaces cleaned and greased the motion of the press is noticably better.

How do you people find TIME for all your projects and hobbies?

I've wondered the same thing about the amount of media you're able to consume. I suspect we both consider sleep as optional much of the time. :)

In the case of the printing press, it doesn't actually eat up all that much time. Take a part off, start it electrostripping, come back in a few hours. Scrub off the ferric oxide slime, spray paint it next time there is daylight and not-rain available. (That part is getting easier as the year progresses, at least. And I can overlap it with atlatl practice, which has the same requirements.) I have to make sure I keep parts moving through the pipeline, but the total effort isn't that large.
