Reprovisioned Press
From Makerpedia
This is a design for a miniature printing press, adapted from the Provisional Press. It was redesigned for ease of assembly, while maintaining many of the same features. The pieces are all cut from 3/16" plywood, and keyed into place using tabs and slots. All pieces are subsequently glued together for rigidity. This is the press used by the Kitchen Lithography workshop.
