I have been asked by Liz Davidson for a few more images from my collaborative book - Crossing Paths - so here we are - I do hope it will encourage you to order a copy from my Etsy shop HERE - It is a limited edition so there are only another 17 available!

Monday's job - restoration

A friend recently offered me this old guillotine which he was about to take to the tip.......

it was  very dirty and  rusted and needed a good clean but  the blade is still very sharp - I used soap and water then steel wool and finally a metal cleaner - all I need now is to buy some penetrating oil (I've done my research) in order to get the bolt off - then I can clean the underside of the blade

I shall cut up some old paper/card and non precious stuff for a bit before I put through anything that matters!
there is a great deal of satisfaction in making a 'throw out' serviceable again! And it is perfect for my bookmaking
