Using a Hampson Bettridge & Co Paper Guillotine
Переглядів 1485 років тому
Rescued from a skip , our Victorian guillotine (nicknamed Mother-in-law's Tounge in the studio) is vital to our letterpress work and every card is cut on it.

They should be able to provide sticks too - although these are usually plastic now, so I prefer to make my own from wood.
Beautiful work. Beautifully filmed 👌
