Great dream!
I guess some do!
Lol - "The NYTimes" late 11/3 or early 11/4 2020 edition!
I know this is something you folks did all the time when you had those jobs while this was more unique to me each time.
I count a few times as "one" because they all occurred during my, I guess, Typography class in Art College (unless it was a another class that used metal type) in ?'71.
I think the 30pt type was the heaviest full tray I could carry (as an average woman my upper body strength wasn't that great, though as an artist, and artisan craft woman I have a quite strong hand grip, and wrist). So I set and printed two different pieces.
More Interesting though was the relatively recently experience in '16.
My Artist and Artisan aunt; who was a Master Printmaker who designed, drew on then carved and printed her wood blocks (B&W, Multi-colored); also did some small books with her art and text, maybe poetry which she set herself. She had regular, and antique type.
She invited me to visit and stay for a few weeks at her & my Uncle's house (where her studio was) to do art in her
studio! So I got to set some type for a little piece for myself. She helped because each letter I picked out was in a different style, certain size differences, so it wasn't the simpler kind of typesetting. Since it was small in size, oh, did we have to build up the metal around it to hold it together.
The only thing I didn't remember to do 
was go up to a mezzanine she had where she kept Antique
Wooden type sets - 12, 15, 18 inches high! Oooo.
What she did with some of it was carve images into a whole set, and printed phrases with it. These Big pieces hanging off the mezzanine, and other spots!
It was cool to do both times. 😁👍
