Typecasting

Early photos, more recent images coming soon...

Early in 2010 an arrangement was worked out with the family of the late Jim Rimmer to aquire Jim's gear and to move it to the Greenboathouse Press here in Vernon. That move (and the adventures it entailed) has now taken place, but much of the equipment is stuck in storage until a new workshop is built. For the moment, then, I've posted here a handful of photos of some of the gear when it was still at Jim's place. I'll eventually update this page with more recent images and more details on the machines, but this will have to do for the time being...
