I've been using a Conrad Press for 11 years.  It does what I need it to do 
and since, as Bea G knows, I am know "spring chicken" being in control of 
your studio is necessary to avoid injury.
Re linocut discussion, I read an article on said subject, clipped it, and 
frequently go back to see if I missed any good suggestion.  Battleship was 
clearly the top choice but the writer did (and this may already have been 
discussed) suggest coating the lino with a somewhat watered down layer of 
while acrylic which you can also manipulate for yet another planned (or 
better still not so planned) texture into which to cut.

Great to hear from you again Barbara Hearn - I couldn't find you anywhere I
looked!  my #7 print was using the Chinese method as taught to me by Ray
Hudson and was a treat to do.  (the how to lesson will be in the next Baren
Suji)
I'd like to add my comments on the intent and focus of the Baren Forum.  I
found this site very soon after it started, with 35 members and was ecstatic
to find people also interested in wood block cutting.  I need to thank Dave
once again for conceiving, developing and maintaining this wonderful site
and making the mysterious hanga wonderful to explore.  Just winding through
each exchange and trying to determine how the cutting was done, what was
used for the printing medium to get the rich colors of an April Volmer, was
it done on a press or with a baren, what wood was used to get the wonderful
rough cuts of a Pete White and what tools to get the delicate cuts of a
James Mundie, what paper was used and was it sized or unsized.  I enjoy the
lino cuts of Dan Dew and his darling daughter and hope we don't eliminate
that kind of participation but our focus should remain on woodblock printing
and all the various methods used. Thank you all for stimulating discussions
and slithering snakes.

Mine was done on cherry wood, Meg's on lino.  FYI.  I always try to abide by
the spirit of the exchanges by only doing mine in wood.

Yep, but she's a slacker and it's not done yet.  :-)
What can you do, 11 years old and want to play with her friends more than
with dad.  :-(
Should be out soon.  It's an 5 color reduction snake.

P.S. Everyone in Exchange #7 that got their surprise print: please e-mail
her a reply and encouragement. :-)
