press parts

Let’s see. Where were we on our Pearl restoration journey? Oh yes. Back at the end of July, our new rollers had come in. Since then, we’ve found an original crank and found someone to fabricate the connecting rod. Those are the final pieces in converting our press from a motor operated press to one that’s powered by our foot. All that’s left for us to do is create feeder boards. We have the wood + stain. Now to find the time!

PS – The picture above was taken several months back when we were priming all of the press parts a nice ketchup color.
