  • We are often asked how we maintain our historic printing presses in our print shop exhibit. In this video, Howard demonstrates what is needed to keep our Washington hand press in operation the same way it operated 170 years ago.
    Our Washington hand press was manufactured in 1852 by the Charles Foster & Brother Company in Cincinnati, Ohio.

    Howard and the Press have one thing in common: Well oiled!

      I was just thinking how nice the sound of the squeaky floor was! Can't quite put my finger on it...

      I came here to say the same! But the squeaky floor fits perfectly with the theme of the videos.

    Love these videos, what actually requires maintenance is the floor!

    ASMR

      A few people probably think "ASMR" refers to videos of people making noises or whispering into a microphone, and not the actual sensation the _viewer_ experiences. The clue is in the name, "autonomous sensory median response". It's related to your senses. And it doesn't even have to be those stupid so-called "ASMR" videos that consist of "Hey, it's free real estate" whispering, or just scratching beards or whatever. It isn't even limited to audio. Some people might experience ASMR during a massage, or while in a barbershop getting their hair cut, or even washed. Others may experience ASMR when watching relaxing videos, such as this, or simply be listening to lo-fi music.

      That Squeaky Floor Fits Right In With The 19th Century Machinery. There Were LOTS Of Old 19th Century Buildings Still Being Used When I Was A Kid In The 1950's. And Most Of Them Had The Same Squeaky Floors. It Brings Back Old Fond Memories For Me indeed...

    At Age 82, Howard Is A Natural For That Print Shop. I Bet He LOVES Spending His Days Working There. I Hope When I Reach His Age, I Can Still Be As Useful As Howard. You Gotta Love The Guy...
