I can't believe how beautiful this press is!

Hi James, Thank you 😊 for the amazing product and service. All the best, Carlijn.

Dear James, the press has arrived. All very well packed. It arrived safely. It looks great and the quality of the finish is outstanding. Thanks.

James, what a great piece. Thank you, I am delighted. Where can I leave a positive review? You are an artist! Thanks.

Hi James, Just to let you know, I got the pygmy press today. It looks fantastic. Thank you for your beautiful work. All the best,

Hi James, It has made it! And it looks and smells beautiful. I assume it is linseed oil that I can smell. It is even more wonderful than I was expecting. The oak is so beautifully marked and you have done the beauty of the wood justice, thank you so much.

Hi James, Just wanted to let you know the press arrived today—perfect timing. Thank you. And the press is beautiful, your craftsmanship exquisite. I look forward to using it once I’m back home in September! All the best,

Hello James, This is a nice surprise! So happy the press is getting here earlier than I expected. I can't thank you enough for working on this order.

Hello James, I finally got the press I love everything about it so far...

It's here!!! I love it, thanks so much, it is an incredible piece of kit and I can't wait together to know it and put it to good use. I've put the casters on and have popped the top on, but I've yet to put the blade into the plough and get trimming! I'll post some pictures up on Instagram over the coming days and will tag you in them.

Hi James - I’m delighted to report that the press arrived 2 days earlier than predicted. It’s a beautiful piece! And I love the inlay design you added. Very cool and unique! Definitely one of a kind and I appreciate you taking the time to do that. Really, I love it.

Using the press so far has been a dream, only one wheel to turn has been an absolute game changer and has saved me so much time! I look forward to seeing more work from you and hopefully getting a few more pieces of equipment in future. I already recommended you to all my classmates too! 😉

I have finally gotten to make real use out of the press! I made a couple books for an author friend of mine and she was really impressed with the results (especially the trimming with the plough which is leagues better than what I was able to do before). It's a real joy to work with and I will definitely be a lot more productive and motivated in bookbinding now than before.

Buenas tardes James,gracias por todo,me enorgullece poder tener unas herramientas hechas con tanta profesionalidad en los tiempos que corren para el mundo de la encuadernación artesanal es milagroso. Un saludo y buen fin de semana.

Got it, it looks stunning!! Thank you so much!!!

It arrived! My son helped me set it all up and place in the shop! Best single purchase for my business ever. If you ever need a referral please let me know. Thank you for your ingenious, and also lovely, work.

The items arrived today, beautiful and solid.

Wow! Thank you for making this for us in this nice way

Hi James The press has safely arrived and I’ve just finished unpacking it and putting it together, It’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for your brilliant craftsmanship. I’m so excited and can’t wait to use it. Now I will have to bind something worthy of it! Thanks again and all the best

Hi James, I send this email to say that the press has arrived. It is in good condition and is spectacular! I'm going to do a lot of books with it. Thank you very much for everything, best wishes and success.

I received the package today and it is beautiful! I love it

The press is stunning! Congratulations again for the beautiful work!

James, all the items have arrived safely and they look even more marvelous in person than in the photos. Really love the artisanal touches you’ve put on each piece to make it aesthetic as well as functional. I’m looking forward to using these wonderful tools for years to come!

The sewing frame and the press are very beautifully crafted, thank you very much for that. I am very much infatuated with both of them. I am looking forward to start binding my first books using your equipment.

Hi James. the first two boxes – with the pygmy presses and the finishing press – arrived safe and sound this afternoon. I am in love with them! Thank you for such lovely craftsmanship. They will help tremendously as I begin binding 200 books in our current edition... and I am sure for many years to come.

The nipping press has arrived and is being used! I want to thank you, James, for your lovely work, and your willingness to make the press I had dreamed of. While it is aesthetically pleasing, for me, its utility is what mattered most. It will be used to help many, many books.

My press & plough arrived this evening, has been inspected by the cat, and is now looking beautiful on my workbench, waiting for me to get back to work later in the week.  I can see it lasting longer than I do, haha.  It's fantastic, thank you!

You exceeded all of my expectations with this - from choosing the wood blanks that were naturally in tune with each other to the slightly overwound handmade pickups - this is a true one-off guitar with an amazing tone. Brilliant.

This is incredible - a beautiful giant of a laying press, a conversation piece and a fully functioning bit of equipment - and all from recycled wood, great!

Your work is exceptional and whoever sees your presses is blown away by their beauty and precision. You guide your client and ask the right questions to make sure they have the best tool they need. You truly are master of your craft and know that your tools caused lots of happiness. Thank you and don't stop creating such stunning tools.
