A Little Letterpress
After getting a set of metal type as a gift from a friend, Ishac Bertran decided to build a small printing press uisng only leftover materials from past experiments. Even though it is not accurate when printing it is very cute and is probably the smallest letterpress printing equipment ever made;)
