Letterpress Restoration: Days 7 & 8

I was able to have a few classmates remove the top of the press so I could clean the space below it. I hope to have the remaining paint removed by the end of next week. The next steps will include removing any rust, reassembling the press, and gathering any materials needed to print with it! It has been a slow process getting this press cleaned as only a few hours are available each week to work on it, but it is definitely coming along.
