The thicker the plate, the deeper the etch - I use 11pt magnesium. Most magnesium plate users go with 16gauge. They have 1/4" magnesium as well.<BR/><BR/>The roller bearers are actually 36pt full face rule (or type high slugs). I've also used linoleum blocks cut to size and built up to type high with good results.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435561594931481867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865415785600693067.post-43017758262405326882008-08-02T16:33:00.000-07:002008-08-02T16:33:00.000-07:00Hi, I had two questions for you.1) Who does your d...Hi, <BR/><BR/>I had two questions for you.<BR/>1) Who does your deep etch plates<BR/>2) Where did you get your roller bearers.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407647932420388277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865415785600693067.post-1727094783586478082008-08-01T10:31:00.000-07:002008-08-01T10:31:00.000-07:00ah I see!I'm a big fan of your stuff and I'm finis...ah I see!<BR/><BR/>I'm a big fan of your stuff and I'm finishing up my lessons at Armory tomorrow (which is how I found your blog)<BR/><BR/>Thanks!moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109287301164752140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865415785600693067.post-75187027279017088402008-08-01T09:06:00.000-07:002008-08-01T09:06:00.000-07:00Whatever worked with wood is right, wisconsinjer! ...Whatever worked with wood is right, wisconsinjer! I still do all this crazy makeready on rainy days!<BR/><BR/>Mo, if you look at the picture with the honeycomb base closely, you'll notice that there are four little toggle hooks on each side of the plate. You put the hook into the hole and using a toggle key, tighten the hooks in the holes so it locks the plate in place. Pretty simple, and it gives you (almost!) the placement ability of a photopolymer with the crisper prints of metal.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435561594931481867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865415785600693067.post-41024614091309905912008-08-01T08:53:00.000-07:002008-08-01T08:53:00.000-07:00Very cool of you to post the steps of your process...Very cool of you to post the steps of your process!<BR/><BR/>How does the unmounted plate stay on the honeycomb base?<BR/>I'm reading more and more that Owasso Graphic is the place to gomoniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109287301164752140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865415785600693067.post-67417299715604833192008-08-01T04:38:00.000-07:002008-08-01T04:38:00.000-07:00hi,Use to do letter press in 1952 while in high sc...hi,<BR/>Use to do letter press in 1952 while in high school, Marinette, WI.<BR/><BR/>Didn't have metal base and you're right about the weather effect on wood.
