How to make paper and what is a PAPER BEATER?

In this video, I show you what a paper beater is and give a basic overview of the process of making paper. I am not a paper maker, so this information might not be your best source if you want to make paper yourself. There are a lot of other YouTube videos on this topic. I built this Beater from scratch but it is based on the Reina Beater, but is not an exact copy of David Reina's design. The Reina beater is commercially available from the USA .You can go see more about their machines here: http://www.davidreinadesigns.com If you are interested in buying some of this good quality hand made paper , Printmaking workshops or other related services you can contact Artists Proof Studio: https://artistproofstudio.co.za/pages...
