hi welcome back to video number 4 of the embossing stamp press hope you enjoy please push the sub button and give me a like.
so i've had a lot of trouble getting this finished as the cold weather has hit london and i'm in an uninsulated shed a the end of my garden. I have bought a chinese diesel heater that has worked a charm and heats it enough to use the automotive paints and allows them to dry.
Follow this link https://www.officemuseum.com/ for great info on embossing press's from the last 200 years i think you will find it very interesting.
