As in printmaking, the first step is to obtain an intaglio press:
Parts is parts
Here are some parts to a home-built intaglio press made from recycled items. The above photo shows the roller yokes (that may or may not work for this experimental design) built from the rails from a garage door opener, the tops from student’s desks, and rollerblade wheel bearings.
The Experimental Press in the driveway of dreams
Here the two cylinders (shown from last years post here) are pressed by the roller yokes with the help of four threaded steel rods (I found for a real good price from the Habitat re-store in town). Hey! Almost done.
