Post by: clickclack on Wed, 16 June 2010, 19:08:22
I absolutely love typewriters and keyboards and I use both frequently so this just makes me smile to no end =)

Finally I have a good reason to buy an ipad! Yipeee =P

If this has been posted already, let me now and I will put the smack down on this thread! BAM! If not then please enjoy...

Check the links for a video and the craftsmen.

Don't worry, I looked this up on my break from being a slave to keycaps ;)

This is really cool, it would be even better if they could make new typewriters rather than butcher current ones.
