Oooooh, nice. Pity you're not renting anymore - would be nice to prop up in a corner of the living room for the next landlord inspection ...

woulda also been spectacular to mount on my bike for the key handover. It's almost completely overshadowed the fact I also scored a mangle

Jelly! Mangles are great for sheets/towels. Better than spinning imo especially big heavy stuff that unbalances the machine.

it's a bench clamp one too, one of these but...needs some TLC. Mostly new rollers and some rust treatment though!

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Best of luck finding new rollers cos that won't be easy. Might have to get them relined or something. Impressive little mafchine though. There's a thought in my head that you could do some cool stuff with lino printing with it too if you're into that sort of thing. Sort of negative impression quasi silk screen printing on t shirts etc.

I've found some custom rubber roller companies, probably exxy as fuck, but i have options. Worst case i can replace with wood, but would need to tweak the tension.
