the actual machine, or the output of the machine?

Both. I like letterpressed posters, greeting cards, etc. and think it'd be cool to learn how to make them.

No, much like my other interests, I don't actually have the equipment or skills necessary to actually make anything myself.

I have a computer and Photoshop for cartooning and those types of things...and for blogging...I have pens, pencils, rulers and bristol board, so I can do that stuff. I have a camera that can take reference photos...I have a car that lets me go out driving on nice sunny weekends...

But no, I don't have a letterpress, or screenprinting equipment, or woodworking equipment, or anything big like that. There's just no room for it, and furthermore, it's too expensive to justify for just a hobby.

i agree with the price/use ratio comparison. i have some stuff to make paper, you know, but i don't have the fancy press to get all the water out of it. i want, but i don't need, and i probably can't afford it.

i would also like to do more with woodworking, but i'm the type of person who is still trying to live out of their car for awhile longer. if i can't pack it, i leave it.
