how did you move the press
We are coming down to the last few days of the move. Six of the die-stamping presses have made the move from Brooklyn to Harrison. We have had a number of people ask us how we are moving the presses. See the video below showing the 1st press making its way to the elevator.Here is a link to a video showing the 1st press making its way out of the building.
