New in the restoration queue, although I've already started working on it, is this lovely Oliver (Batwing) No. 11 typewriter.

It was donated today and is in a sorry state, missing some screws, one key cap is missing, one foot missing, several bent key arms and the carriage spring is snapped. I'd like to have this one working again soon though. 😁

Kirkcudbright keep your eyes out for this man and check your £20s...

❗️Watch out for this male, he has been in many shops paying with fake £20 notes❗️

Please share

We did a linear gradient rolling for a lino cut Caleb is working on. To use up the leftover ink I typeset a Tiger. 😁 🐅

Today I've been cataloguing "Pin Marks", they're the hallmarks of metal type and often show which foundry the type came from. Exciting stuff! 🤓
