As our staff are also (very) amateur letterpress printers, we were delighted to come across this build by Garden Affairs for far more professional letterpress outfit Ptolmaic Press run by Phil McMullen from his Wiltshire base. It's a 5.5m x 3m log cabin, with windows and doors factory painted in Reseda Green but the building itself supplied unpainted as Phil wanted to do that paint job himself. Inside, there's space for a drying rack and the floor has been reinforced to hold the weight of his 1926 'Arab' Foolscap Folio press, made by Wades of Halifax.
Pictured below are his printing presses (the Shedworking staff were particularly delighted to see the Adana 8 x 5 at work as we also have one of those in the basement office) and workspace.
