I live in Vancouver, Canada and I love to make things with paper + fabric.

Interests: other than the obvious craft related hobbies, taking pictures + traveling are the two things that make me the happiest.

If you look at the bottom of the table, you'll see those circular pieces. We used those same pieces right under the wood and there are holes in those flat roundy parts. We then used flat (1x12inch) brackets to secure the pieces together (x8) :)

Ugh. Honestly, greys are the thorn in my side! It takes me forever to find the right grey and when I think I've found the one, it never seem to be right in a different space. I'll let you know what I used, but you'll need to try them in your room to see if it works. They are both from Dulux: Veil Silver Quil Hope that helps!

The top is just from Home Depot and was originally one long 16 foot piece. They cut it down to 3 5-foot long pieces. I simply stained it with some stain I had laying around.

Its definitely a labor of love but I once you get in the groove of things it goes faster. It would be very time consuming if you only wanted to make 1 design each time.

The machine itself is very durable and I haven't had any problems with my plates like other users have. But I did come across this post by Box Car Press that recommends getting rid of the plates that come with it and purchasing custom photopolymer plates. I think this makes a huge difference in the quality of the imprint. Good luck! http://boxcarpress.com/us/blog/2009/11/24/l-letterpress-printing-techniques-from-boxcar-press/
