It seems that absolute
precision is required in so much that we do today. The digital age has brought
an exactness that was never achievable…seemingly. My great love of letter press
printing has required enough precision to be able to set type, set up a
printing block and turn out nicely done printing. Beautiful, but not at
millimeter specifications. This much used and loved “furniture” is part of the
press work in setting up type for printing. We often use wood blocks that help
keep it all in place. I think they are beautiful…and precise enough for me.
a great stone….something I never would have seen, understood or appreciated before!

I like this one, Duff, because sometimes I wonder what happened to the old ways of creating - perhaps not "precise" but intricate and somehow showing more of the artist's hand at work. I still appreciate the "by hand" methods.
