gertrude update

Posted by debbie lee on

a few months ago i acquired gertrude, an old style gordon. this is her before shot-- all dismantled, sad, and pathetic

she's been out of commission for some time now... but look at gertrude now

she's still not all together yet, but she's feeling much better {you like how i humanize my presses?}. she still needs a new feed board, new motor, new rollers, and a heavy duty cleaning, but thanks to my husband and his newfound interest, gertrude should be up and running in no time!
