Make Time to Make

Build your own typewriter, one evening at a time.

Give yourself several evenings to settle into this mechanical build. Start with the wooden frame, work through the moving assemblies and gradually bring the whole typewriter together. Leave time to check the fit, try the controls and enjoy understanding what you have made. The project can wait between sessions; the finished machine will carry the care you put into it.

Why You'll Love This Kit

The pleasure of a machine you put together.

Press a key and watch the linked typebars respond. Move the carriage, feed a sheet through the roller and try the line-shift lever and end-of-line bell. Gold-toned keys and layered wooden panels give the model its vintage character. Choose the red-and-gold Magic Version or the black-and-gold Classic Version; each is sold separately. The detailed photos show Magic. Typing is intended for entertainment and display.
