This site is a little project that began a few years back. It's purpose is to provide information to Intaglio printmakers wishing to build their own Etching Press. Here you will find info and plans for building your press. This link Sample Gallery will show you some examples of what you can accomplish with these plans and a little willpower.
The plans provide all the details needed to build three different types of presses, with two diffrent types of drives,a hand operated chain drive or a hand operated gear driven one.
The only work you will have to do, is build a bench for it and bolt the pieces together. A machine shop will fabricate a few of the parts for you the rest of the parts can be purchased from a Gear Supply Company.
If you have any questions and I'm sure you will, I ask that you check the FAQ section before contacting me, the answer might be posted there as well as some answers to questions you might not have thought of.
So enough talk feel free to explore the site and I hope to meet you on the road to Pressdom!
