Free Vintage Plans. Build a Letter Press Or Book Press

A letter press,(also called a book press) has many uses for both home and business use. In the handling of vintage plans and vintage projects it can be very useful in many ways. It can obviously be used to press books or documents of various kinds. It can also be very useful in your workshop for applying decorative veneers to wood projects.

There is really nothing better for holding flat items to be glued together. A letter press can also be used for putting pressure on pretty well anything that is flat in shape for whatever purpose you require to do this.

It is the natural tool for a bookbinder to use for the purpose of binding new books, or for rebinding old books which are missing covers. It clamps the book tightly and keeps it straight and true while glue in the spine and covers is drying which can be quite difficult to do if you do not have a book press on hand.

Old magazines can bound together to form annual volumes and the letterpress or book press is the perfect tool to handle this type of work.

Vintage plans quite often call for pressure to be applied to various types of items which are to be glued together. It is possible to use clamps of various types for this job of course, but sometimes it can be hard to apply a clamp due to the size or shape of the project being worked on.

Without the need for a clamp a letter press may come in very handy to press various kinds of items together while gluing them.

The book press or letter press is in actual fact a tool with many uses and is very versatile. The free vintage plan we have here shows you how you can build one at quite low cost by making use of pipe fittings. The cost of buying a commercial book press is very high which is the main reason that many workshops do not have such a tool. Now with our free vintage plan you can build one for yourself and save money. A really good vintage project.

Free Plans For Flying Model Helicopters

Building flying model helicopters is a really great fun hobby. Experimenting with different types of model to determine which one flies best or highest or for the longest time is a real challenge to a model builder.

Plans for model helicopters are relatively few and fairly hard to find. We have found two good plans for flying model helicopters which really perform well. You can download these interesting plans for free at our website.

The first one is a fairly modern type plan from the 1950s for a rubber band powered helicopter. This nice looking model is reasonably easy to construct and flies extremely well.

The second model helicopter is a very old plan from around the turn of the 20th century. This of course was before any helicopters had been built and flight was still in its earliest days. This model looks nothing like a real modern helicopter but demonstrates the principles on which helicopters work. It also flies and performs remarkably well considering its very simple basic design. Give something different a try and build a model helicopter that really flies.
