Etching Press Old Converted Mangles

Thumbnail-1
I have been successfully using mangles converted to etching presses for years now. These old victorian mangles work the best. Not only is it giving new live back to an item of beauty. The weight and strength of the machines is comparable with its outcomes to any contemporary etching press.
