Update #7: Week #5 Update
Everything is coming together quite wonderfully. Yesterday Julia (TIPINFOLD) and I visited The Post Family to test the newly made embossing plate for the book case. Everything is looking great and I made sure to shoot a video and make some images of the process.
There will be a bonus Backer Update coming shortly after this with an Extra video of the plate setup and aligning the press before the test runs.
Onomasticon is hitting the road, so to speak, this week ... you'll see what I mean in next week's update. In the mean time I hope you'll consider backing the project and helping spread the word via Twitter, Facebook and even talking to friends with your mouth. :-)
Cheers!
