Gottlieb, Seth

The Uncommon Press is a modern reconstruction of English wooden common presses, specifically based on ones from 1770-1790. It was constructed in 2016 by five RIT students: Mechanical Engineering majors Seth Gottlieb, Ferris Nicolias, and Randall Paulhamus, Industrial and Systems Engineering major Veronica Hebbard, and Museum Studies major Daniel Krull. This work fulfilled a multi-disciplinary senior project. They used as many historic methods and materials as their constraints allowed.
