As someone who is new to letterpress, I *so* appreciate you, an expert, be vulnerable in sharing with us.

I ran a Heidelberg Windmill press just like this one for 35+ years. In my opinion this was the most dependable printing machine ever made 🙂

My dad owned and operated a print shop called “The Ocean Press” in Long Beach Long Island NY, which was given to him by his grandfather - they went out of business due to large corporations like international minute man and kinkos. I remember hearing that they were the oldest print shop in the United States that was still in operation when they closed the doors in the 90’s. I remember as a kid being around this machine in the 80’s and 90’s When I was very young I believed that it had a head, like a robot, I was freaked out by the thing and kept my distance.

Thanks for putting this up. I used to run one of these back in the 70's in a shop in London. What's come over from watching this is how they all sound the same! The general metallic sounds of certain parts, like the screw going into the underside of the feed table, little clicks of the lay guides. Great stuff! German engineering eh? No brainer. 🤗

Hi there, GREAT video - thanks for sharing! can you tell me the name of that part (at about 9 mins) you were originally missing, that holds smaller paper in place? Mine is missing it too AND the tool drawer!

How do you make the press plates?

That is an unconventional combination that worked great, with a beautiful result. Great mind.

great stuff! just found your channel through a Kluge press search.

Welcome to the club, I got diagnosed at 37, still learning a lot about what this really means. I have that same struggles, medication isn't for me. I found you in my quest of figuring out if letterpress is a good thing to add to my life or just another shinny thing :) Hope to see more videos of you in this new journey of yours. Thanks for sharing.

Is it imperative to wear short pants when operating the Heidelberg Windmill?

What the hell is he waffling on about? He is so obscure in explaining himself. It sounds like he's making excuses for being a useless printer who can't handle the work.

I quit printing because I couldn't stand the rotten bastards that I worked for!

Great choices. Glad I discovered you today. You >can< fix what’s stuck and overcome the inertia.

oy, how can i count the ways i need to change.. thank you for sharing your stuck experience in a way that reminds the rest of us that we're not stuck alone. : )

I recognize the counter !!!😎😎😎

8 years old I ran one of these. I can run anything from a hand feed, to a mult-color heidelberg press, and work in all the prepress programs and plate setters. My father told me 1x... put your hand, here / there, it will be missing. Put your finger here, GONE. I've known of horrendous accidents that have removed entire arms at the shoulder. (Not in a windmill.) My favorite windmill accident, is when the operator gets lazy, and decides to put his hand on one of the side guides of the delivery, and lean. There is about 1/4" of clearance, smash the crap out of your hand, and skin it good, maybe break it in several places, most the time not. but you will wish you never did it! (It's easy to do, because when the press is forward it looks like a good place to lean against.

❤ good 👍 👍

I remember well the two windmills we had in our lab. A few years before I stopped teaching graphic arts courses, we managed to get a Heidelberg KORD offset lithographic press donated by the federal government. All three of these appear to have been made from recycled Panzer tanks put to better use. You seem to enjoy what you are doing but I would suggest that your titles use both upper and lower case typefaces. All CAPS is far less readable since our eyes and brains are not used to reading that way. Otherwise well done. I do so love the suck/blow sound of a Heidi in the morning.

Inspiring!! Really cool concept, thanks for sharing!

Omg that’s so genius of a design for a machine. The thought of it is incredible

Thank you. I was trying to explain to my daughter what press I was running when I broke my tailbone. I was sitting on a stainless steel table watching it run years ago when I had a "jumper" and jumped off the table to flip the off switch and caught my tailbone on the corner of the table. OUCH!

Keep taking leaps!!!🙌🏼 Bravo!👏🏼

I used to know how to run one of these. Back in high school. I took a two year vocational tech course in Graphic Arts, and one of the machines we had in the press room was an old Heidelberg windmill platen press that was older then everyone in the class.

Thanks for a lovely video explaining how to run these - I worked as a compositor in the late 60s early 70s and locked up hundreds of jobs to be printed on these, and for some Thompson platens too, but never was allowed to get my hands on the machines (strict union shop!) I was locking up jobs for 5 or 6 operators to keep them all running, was kept pretty busy. I really loved my time in the print trade and was really sorry to leave it in the mid 70s, but that was the way it was going - letterpress was on the way out, along with hot metal.

Just getting a "new" Windmill GT. Super excited. Using it for die cutting. Wondering if you have any suggestions for 3 phase converter?

Thank you for your vidéo.

Locate parts to rebuild pumps. I’ve got four.

Thank You, I have learnt so many things from Your videos, for example that my GTP is from 1966 :)

very helpful video! I am also wondering what is the thing in 8:48 that you use to hold narrow stock in place? Somebody in comments said it is called a lay? Is that correct? I am not finding it via google but of course there are several other items that come up under the term - I found brass lay, front lay, guage pins, lay pins....but I didn't see anything that looks like what you have!

I just love your channel.... keep them comin... Learning here.. Thank you

Great informative video..Thank you.

Great to see you back

I have a fear that I cut my hand off with these machines by mistake.

Clients will have their own vision even if we know better from experience. Think of building a house for a client, here you will have clients who will push their vision, knowing from our standpoint its by far the ideal solution. We have a mission to help and guide our clients but we cannot decide for them in the end. I am perfectly fine with that and even in such situations i will do my very best to surpass any such wishes. Whats your view on this?

Awesome video. What is the price of such an invitation :D
