    I'm not entirely sure these people know what they're doing... I did an internship in a metal-type workshop and I can tell you that I've never spelt a single word backwards. That's because you're supposed to write the word from _right_ to _left_ not left to right as they do in this video. You need to place the blocks _upside-down_ in order for this to work. This lets you follow the natural flow of the text (spelling 'arrow' a-r-r-o-w as opposed to w-o-r-r-a) and hold the blocks in place with your left hand.

    @1775Dreamer 7 років тому +1

    I learned letterpress printing from a "letterpress old-timer" who actually ran a production shop, doing mostly business forms printing--he rarely did "art printing"--so setting type quickly and accurately was critical.
    If it took me 5 hours to set a page of type, he would have put me on floor-sweeping duty.
    A competent type-setter should be able to set a page of type in an hour or so, and that would be if they were taking their time.
    I can only assume the guy in this video is getting payed by his clients by the hour, and not by the piece... ;-)

And you set the type upside down left to right with your thumb holding the characters securely.

    You do not set type from right to left! Type is set in a setting stick from left to right with the nick on the type uppermost. Every time you even look at type when it is set should be read upside down and right to left. The Vandercook was primary a proofing press, used for checking spelling etc.

    The video are well developed,
    A couple of things from a viewer's point of view, to iron out the kinks:
    1. Add more energy and Enthusiasm.
    2. Try to reduce a bit of the mumbling and be more articulate.
    3. Have more close-up shots of the detail of certain things that specialist is doing.
    4. Ask the specialist questions about the profession why they got into it why do you love it that adds a bit of personal charm
    Overall, great videos and they have the potential to explode in the millions of views, good luck and all the best.

      BiivAkpwe58319 I agree. I really enjoy his approach. The subject matter and process are the focus and he does not dominate it with his personality. It's not patronizing with lots of irrelevant, irksome questions. It is quite refreshing and has a "grown up" feel to it.

      sammaks feel like these aren’t changes needed. That’s what every regular video has. The way he does it makes these educational videos actually fun to watch.
