Got some more cleaning and re-arranging done for tomorrow, more to do, of course.

Bill W arrived late morning with the double rack. It also has a composing counter on the back side of it so we have another counter space, very useful. Also heavy -- it's solid metal! The other racks are wood.

After lunch, went to Letterpress Things in Chicopee since it was one of his open days. Found another case of Cloister Black in 12 pt., a small caps/fig font of Engravers Old English 18 pt, and also Eng. OE in 72 pt. And a small single cabinet for holding galleys (type on trays -- you can set up a form of text and then save it there for future printing/re-printing). And sundry small tools. Bill W picked up a very nice dust-free single rack, a metal composing surface, some type, and some odds and ends.

Got home and did some more work in both sides of the garage, but mostly in the print shop.

fitzw thought it would be nice if people could try out printing, so he worked on setting up the form, with a little bit of help from me.
