GREAT VIDEO ...VERY INFORMATIVE ....NOW I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON THE HEIGHT OF YOUR TABLE?

[blackfeetcherokee]

Im putting the press together and Im wondering how do you attach the 1 and 2nd layer together. My email is t.slaughter@ymail.com. Thanks for posting this video. great work...

[adonisrottweiler]

hey dude, i reproduced the same machine, how did u put up the first layer? all on the same level? or the middle one ane the 2 side ones?

[257cks]

how does you off contact work is it good ..

[densanavaley]

GREAT VIDEO!! BY FAR the best and detailed video i've seen. I do have a quick question for you. On the base layer (the "I" shape), I get you have the 4 bolts attaching the top and bottom part of the "I" formation, but how did you attach the center part of the "I" to the rest of your press. Did you glue it to the table and then screw? Thanks in advance.

[AraneusTShirts]

Hi are the specs on your website? I can't find them. Looks pretty good might as well save money.

[POPOAZTEC]

I am going to build one using your idea. Will send you the final product

[victorbmorales]

very nice, im building one.. thanks!

[Stavros71]

It's not attached to the bottom of the L bracket - I drilled a hole through the side of the C clamp and used a screw to attach it to the wood. I hope that explains it. Thanks, Steve

[Greenify24]

how did u attach the c clamps to the metal piece?

[014512]

LIKE IT MAN! NICE WORK ^^,

[DJSteveAlexander]

Gotta love Gorilla Glue!!  LOLOL NICE!

[Stavros71]

Thank you. I don't know of a place on how to build screens.

[brucewimp]

This is Great. I start on mine now. Is there any place u know of with info. on how to build the screens? I have been looking for 2 months. you have truly inspired me .

[melshel2009]

thanks Steve....I have looked at many, but I think this will be the one I build! Wish me luck.

[LruxDaCreatah]

AWESOME!!! ...Now, I hv 2 figure out how to make a 4 color rotation one. lol ...Thx!!! ;-)

[Ruthotron]

when you pull it down, what's keeping it to stay down without holding it and not to be pulled back up by the spring tension? Nice tutorial bro. keep it coming. Thanks

[Stavros71]

@Ruthotron - sorry I thought I replied to your comment. When you pull the screen down the spring tension is in a straight line as you lift up the spring pulls the arm back.

[Stavros71]

It's the space between the screen and the t-shirt or whatever you're printing on. Check out Catspit Productions videos or Ryonets videos that address proper off contact space in screen printing.

[vsk909]

off contact, what do you mean by that?

[Stavros71]

That's awesome, make sure you post a video of your build. I'd love to see it. I've never used my cutter to make stencils. I know I wouldn't get as detailed resolution and the vinyl could possibly lift off the screen - I don't see it lasting for more than one run. I have screens I've washed out 5 times with no deterioration in the emulsion.

[walkerwm2007]

Hey Steve, Just finished the build. My ink supplies are coming tomorrow. Quick question. Have you ever tried to use vinyl from you cutter to make a screen. I just watch another vid on it. Looks interesting...

[joFerrowArt]

hey Bro. what was the total cost of the build?

[progfellow]

Definitely looks like a one-color version of the four-color press on Printing Plans d com. Looks really nice!

[SacredEffect]

Hi Great video I'm bilding one but I have to make it 2''smaller

my house is not to big any way I'm cutting out the wood no money so i hope to finish it soon.

[Stavros71]

when I've printed on paper or anything for that matter, you need to use some sort of spray tack or other form of adhesive on your pallet. Also, you could be pushing too much ink through or your ink is too thick. Generally the off contact space is about the thickness of a credit card.

[punko]

Great video!

This gives me a better understanding on how presses work, I have one question though. How much space should I leave between the platen and the screen?

I'm using 10 x 12 wood screens ( the only size I could find) and since I don't have a press yet, been using pieces of wood to practice onto paper and the paper keeps sticking into the screen when I do a pass of ink and it looks like a blob of ink.

[J0hnnyAces]

thanks,it really helped me a lot!

[Stavros71]

Thank you. I drilled a hole in the side of the c-clamps and then screwed them through the 2x2 piece and into the 2x4 arm. I should have noted that in the video, sorry about that. Thanks for subscribing!

[cuakalaka]

Really nice design!! How do you attach the c clamps to the wood, or are they attached to the angled aluminum? Thanks a lot!

[Stavros71]

awesome, please let me know if you post a vid of your build. I'd love to see it. Steve

[reubentherockstar]

thanks for the vid now i can get building!

[msacarnell]
