Build your own letterpress

The end of November, I sparked an interest in letterpress, and looked into buying one. Unfortunatly, I don't have $3000 to splash out on a Tabletop Platen. So I kept on reading about it and started looking up more and more things about letterpress. I stumbled across this today and I have to say I will most likely end up doing this and if I like it enough, buy my own.... once I save up the dosh!

It would also help if you had a handyman lying around.. hmmm!

Type illustrations

The amount of times I have done type illustrations, its amazing i'm not sick of them.

In fact, I actually quite like them!
Comments and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated!

We had to create a typography based poster thing using 5 lines from lyrics or a poem. I chose Paul McCartneys song Maybe I'm Amazed, because it reminds me of my lovely love :)
I used script because it was a heartfelt song and I feel that this script font brings out that inner love-ness.
Thoughts?
