I set the planks of one side of the boat out on the press bed,

and marked each position.

After we inked the plates we taped them all in place.

I backed the steam roller across the bed a few times to practice,

and then we put down the paper and blankets,

and I drove across in two passes.

Here is the print coming off the bed for the first time.

We set the paper down,

and examined the first print.

It was late when we moved on to the second side.

Lan Tuazon helped ink and position the plates.
