- Heating the print shop using a Glenwood Woodstove Industrial 7070 Outdoor wood boiler and radiant heat in the concrete floor. Woodstove are a bit more work, but we keep wood out of the landfill and heat our building. That is a win win. This wood stove is simple and that means it does not break. I plumbed this in myself, my last Glenwood lasted over 20 years, I know other outdoors stoves failed before 10 years!
Quick overview of Standard Horizon SPF20A Stitcher/Finisher with VAC-100 Collator setup. This old collator runs and runs, I'd highly recommend it!
Oh Man, You get to print Anne with an "E" I love your shop and your videos. You are truly an inspiration/ I just got a booklet setup similar to yours but a SPF -20, Not automatic. I'm happy!
I can learn lots of thing from your videos. I hope I can reach the same level where you are now. Just now started. I wish the best for you.
Thanks! Glad you like the videos!
Suggestion:
When you fill the towers at 3:48 put the first set of paper stops you remove on the bottom in front of the tower.
Then load each shelf and use the stops from the one below each time.
That halves the number of times you move them.
Great point! Thanks. I think I did that by accident a few times but will do that on purpose from now on!
This is ultra cool. This video talks about 2 things I love .Btw spent hours on the same saddle stitcher.
Nice, it is a nice machine!
Nice Binding i like that machine
Me too!
Hi Dan,
I really liked the tour f your heating system and the barns and silos. I have a SPF-20 and the SF-20 is missing the Knife motor. Does the stapled booklet activate a sensor to trigger the Knife Motor for one revolution and, does the speed of the knife motor vary with the thruput speed of the booklets. I need to get a motor and wonder if Grainger might have one that would work. It looks as though it might be 3 phase as it works with an inverter and there is some speed range in the adjustment literature. I seem to recall it is between 2.7 to 3.1 ??

What do you do to manage all of your orders? Whiteboard, paper, software, etc?
For our long-term projects I keep a spreadsheet, some book projects take several months. For day-to-day we have job tickets. My email inbox also becomes an order organizer. :) Keep it simple.
