So I decided to make some labels for my canned goods. I think it sums me up pretty well. The thing I like most about the design is the space to write the name of the jam or pickles and number them as well, something I stole from Hudson Whiskey (very good on the rocks).

The Bold Italic is an experiment in local discovery. Or that's what they say in their "About Us" section.

Anyway, Sarah Rich, a writer for BI stopped by H!L a couple weeks ago. I showed her the ropes and presses and this is her story....

Maybe one day I'll be a famous pressman.

What you see here is my old Raleigh Tourist and a Schwinn Breeze. I assume that they're both from the 1960's but identifying by the serial numbers is a bit hazy. The Raleigh was in bad shape when I got it but I fixed it up good. Some black enamel paint, rust remover, a new reflector, frame pump, and brake pads and it's as good as new.

Those are rod brakes (not very practical on frisco's steep hills) and a "money-bag pannier" handmade by myself.
