Grount would be what you get when you take cement grout, encase your fingers in it, and try to type. Maybe I better start spell checking. Thanks for the catch.
ey, i think this tools you're making are fantastic. sorry for my english, i'm from argentina. i am in similar projects, making my own tools and studing printing. Right now i'm making diferents tipes of barens, for diferent uses, of course mine are a little bit more krafty (?). wish you luck in your projects, i really like too know people who do this kind of things.
i left you my web if you like too see something of my work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nariconariz/
I am an amateur fine art printmaker and printmaking tools tinker. My current mediums are linocut and woodcut relief prints, and wood pyrography printed either relief or intaglio. In lieu of a traditional baren or press, I experiment with homemade tools to pull prints.
I am a civil engineer with little art background. My knowledge of drawing is mostly from drafting, outlines and simple hatching. I hope to keep this influence while broadening my drawing and printmaking skills. I enjoy using my engineering skills in making tools to support my printmaking.

Such fun to see your inventions! I really like the looks of the baking pan press! :-)
I have a question, though - what is grount?
I'm glad you enjoy seeing my toys.

Love how you think...
the hydralic presses are great...
and your "test print" is definately worthy of a framing.
Keep going!
