[Artemisia] Paper Making in the Keep-Supply List

One of the woodworking projects I've been wanting to
do is a printing press.  How do you think the paper
you made would hold up?  Any suggestions?

I looked on the Salt Lake County Library site and they
don't have the book you mentioned but they did have 44
other titles which includes video sources.

An earlier person mentioned about frames.  I won't get
home before the libraries close this evening.  Another
kingdom wants me to donate a couple of bowstring jigs
as prizes so on my way home I'm stopping by Lowes to
pick up some wood.  Thought I would ask if anybody has
suggestion on frame design.  As I am going to spend a
couple of hours in my woodshop, I might as well make a
some of frames for paper making.
