How to maintain your typewriter - Compliments of the Sticky institute

Having trouble understanding how to operate your old-school typewriter? The Sticky Institute has an awesome resource on their website here. If you don't know what the Sticky Institute is, this is a short blurb from their website:

'Sticky Institute is an Artist Run Initiative fusing an exhibiting and open resource working space with a non profit retail environment housed in Degraves Street Subway under Flinders Street, Melbourne.
By bypassing the conventional gallery system, Sticky redefines the notion of a retail environment as a non profit arts space dedicated to Australian and international zine culture. Zines are provided additional exposure through Sticky's presence at various art and literature festivals nationally.
Sticky's instore artist program involves open monthly arts talks, workshops, zine launches,and ongoing discussion and debate. The open resources program involves badge machines, photocopying, long armed staplers, a paper guillotine, stationary and typewriters.'

Very Cool stuff. Needless to say, I am quite proud. It is nice to be able to search on your name in a library catalogue and have the search actually come up with stuff.

Onward ever.

Cheers,
