Forgot to post these yesterday, some action shots from the Hoamsy lino class, including card stock on the Vandercook and spoon-printed kitikata. #handcranked #class #workshop #comelearnletterpress #handmade #bostonclasses #imadethis

I suspect this is truly unique pig feeder content for your viewing pleasure. #pigfeeder #leadpig #nohesitation #smoothrachet

And Southern Ink decided to spin off its letterpress ink product into a new line, Blue Press Ink, so I got some PANTONE Yellow, Green and Mixing Black to check things out. #letterpress #bostonprinter #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #inkonpaper

Trip to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill today. A non-casting Ludlow Day -- got some Radiant, Cameo, Florentine and Karnak matrices, and a pig feeder for the crucible. #ludlow #ludlowday #ludlowtypograph #pigfeeder #leadpig #hotmetal #hotmetaltype

After the bench hooks, more infrastructure tweaks -- moving type from the small elevated cabinet to the big floor-level cabinet. #infrastructure #distributingtype #typecabinet #letterpress #bostonprinter #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #stovefactory #Charlestown #inkonpaper

After the Hoamsy lino class today, it was time to make some needed infrastructure -- more notched bench hooks! #benchhook #handcranked #class #workshop #comelearnletterpress #handmade #bostonclasses #imadethis

Following up on my earlier Memes Of The Yoots post, on the Winter Solstice, Skudenes, Norway claims the prize of six hours, seven minutes of daylight. Fun fact: Skudenes is actually a bit warmer than Beantown right now. 🤷‍♂️ That crazy Gulf Stream! #sixseven

Not really a Christmas movie kinda guy, but I was quite pleasantly surprised yestereve watching "The Christmas Chronicles". Subverted tropes, Kurt Russell chewing the scenery, a reasonably consistent Elvish, and nixie tubes in Santa's sleigh? Okay, I'm in. 🤣

O Great Solar Orb, hear our pleas on this, the darkest day of the year! Return to these northern lands to ripen our fields and increase our herds, in the glory of your rising! Sacrifice is necessary, for the blessing of Sol Invictus! #solstice #wintersolstice #suninsagittarius #southernmostsun

Just because my kid is 8, we went hunting for weather information throughout the far North until we found Fitjar, Norway. Fitjar's claim to fame is that on this day, it had 6 hours and 7 minutes of daylight. #sixseven

Printing up some signage for Stove Factory Open Studios this weekend. And before you "at" me, yes I realized the N was upside down and corrected it after this picture was taken. 🤣

Finally--I dragged the telescope out, to look at the Moon & Saturn. Great success, a nice waxing gibbous, but presently Saturn's rings are edge-on to Earth so it's not very Saturny. Funny the difference between cameras and eyes -- I could clearly see Titan left of Saturn, but Halide couldn't. 🤷‍♂️

Also started to run some holiday cards for Stove Factory Open Studios. #merryperihelion

Ludlow Day! Cleaning the scale off of the plunger as one does, making everything nice and clean for the Stove Factory Open Studios next weekend. Maybe come in and get your name cast in hot bubbling lead!

More simming! Decided to fly Syracuse to Rochester, but had "Current Weather" set. Oopsie! No rain or shear at 10,500, but that was a fight -- then I had to go back into the murk. Fortunately I was lined up with a runway, but it was a bouncy landing. I think I busted a prop, but nothing exploded. 😅

Behind on everything this year, fortunately it's still Black Friday so I can still flog my Black Friday sale. All sorts of prints and stuff available on my Etsy site!

Been a while since I posted any flying images, I've been skipping through the Northeast, from Boston to Lebanon to Burlington to Glenn Falls and now to Syracuse. Still flying XPlane 11 because my computer ain't cool enough to keep up with XPlane 12 #flightsim #cessna172 #xplane #xplane11

Renters printing 70 year old plates a great aunt used, with a frisket to mask off an incorrect surname. If you're local, why not come in, learn to print, and rent yourself? 👍 #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #vandercook #stovefactory #inkonpaper
