Finished ‘Tilsworth Spur’ - will be cutting some test blocks next week to see how small I can go - hopefully 6 line - any other sizes you need to get inky with? #letterpress #woodtype #typography #mckellierwoodtype

Annual woodworm check on my 30 line W H Bonnewell type from 1860.

Cutting 6 line catch words (and, with, for and The) in endgrain Holly #woodtype #letterpress #printmaking #makermonday

I was originally going to make this border as a combined laser/CNC product but actually the amount of time setting it up could be better spent just using CNC to cut it - will do some more prototyping #letterpress #printmaking #makersgonnamake

3A scheme of 12 line ‘Lidlington’ cut in endgrain English Pear for Scale House Print Shop in New Hampshire #woodtype #letterpress #printmaking #makermonday

The process of cutting my revival of Tellenbach & Cie flower ornaments - 10 line size in endgrain Swiss Pear #woodtype #letterpress #printmaking #makermonday

I only cut type on a Monday so it’s a busy day finishing off this 3A scheme of 12 line Lidlington - can you tell what letter I’m cutting? (haven’t sorted a dust shoe for the new router yet) #

The joy of adding personality simply by having sort out issues caused by adding spurs - the negative space of the G is lovely… ‘Tilsworth Spur’ coming soon

Think that works - rounded the inners (probably is a more technical term!) of the B to match the spur…

Always have lots of projects on the go, occasionally I finish a few 😂 This one is going well - ‘tuscanating’ my existing ‘Tilsworth’ typeface by adding spurs

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Thinking of designing a typeface based around this single woodtype sort - anyone seen anything similar?
