Crocodilian Press

For years David and I have been talking about starting a band called Crocodilian. Since that most likely won't happen, we've started a letterpress operation in the basement, fondly named "Crocodilian Press". Today was our dry run - and I do mean dry, because we have no ink at the moment.

The finished product from today:

Puzzle complete. Ready to print:

Crocodilian letterpress 1: a 6x9 Kelsey-Victor from 1893, fully restored and working great.
