One of the few benefits of aging eyes is that you get to wear fancy headset magnifiers while working, like Donegan’s OptiSIGHT in violet!
Weights of Litho Stones
This is a pretty handy chart if you are considering purchasing a litho stone, or even picking one up to move around. For example, a 16 x 12 inch stone weights 43 pounds per inch of thickness. This was pasted onto the inner face of the front board of Printing and its Accessories from Massy College. Another reminder that many printed books contain unique, owner added paratextual information.

I will demonstrate the making of a delrin folder using simple hand tools: a hacksaw, a file, a scraper, and micron-graded sanding sponges. Attendees should bring their favorite tool and be prepared to discuss it. Also bring a tool that doesn’t work or you would like to alter, we can brain storm options as a group. The evening will conclude with a pot luck meal, I’ve already heard rumors of chili. Yum!
