$20 Screen Printing Press

[@JackSmith-ud9bg]

Good job on a quick screen press

[@timsway]

woah. pretty fancy there. much happier with my shop rag now that i know it's hand-made!

[@AvinAshit26]

Thank You went and made this today with me 10yr old son, now for us to put it to its uses

[@joeny1980]

I'm no pro at this, but looks like you might want some sort of stopper to prevent the screen from lifting so high after the spring/bungee pulls it up. Otherwise you'll be dumping (or even catapulting) ink if you aren't holding onto it in between prints. Should be a simple adjustment.

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

Nice job! Quick and easy way to handle your own shirt printing.

[@CatspitProductions]

If you use a piece of thin card board with some spray tack on both sides inside the shirt, you could spray tack that down to this pallet and then have better print quality and possibly be able to print it again after raising the screen. Just in case you didn't get the print off ;) Come get some Catspit~!

[@my_keyballs666]

Jon!! I love your videos! I met you a couple years back at Long Beach ISS!! Glad to see you again!

[@CatspitProductions]

Hello there! Nice to see you here too. Thank you. I'm very happy to know that. Thanks for watching ;) I'll be at ISS Long Beach this January again.

[@TheOwenRawk]

I love all the people complaining about the price of the tools. Hand saw, pack of cheap screw drivers and a tape measure = $10. Get to work. Wait till you see the price of decent screens if you don't have the tools to build them.

[@JackmanWorks]

+TheOwenRawk eh people will make an excuse for anything! lol

[@ManyaP64]

Or, they can try purchasing a shirt press instead and pay $250! Basic tools used here, you can use a cheap jigsaw or have them cut some of these pieces at Lowe's. If you don't have wood shop tools, this isn't the kind of project on which you can embark anyway!

[@teddyblankenship782]

@@ManyaP64 a handsaw can cut that piece of metal?

[@frontporchanarchast]

@@teddyblankenship782 It's called a hacksaw. They are $4.94 at Walmart. Just pull it back and forth. I've used one for over 40 years.

El mejor video ke he visto. Me sirvió de mucho. Ya hice el mio. Gracias por compartir.

[@maxcovers1009]

Hello very neat your work exelente you could pass all the measures of the wood that you used for the work thanks

Nice Video! Very good.

verrrry very nice

[@GregsGarage]

Tim Sway sent me. I'm staying. Nice work sir.

[@ou8nucks630]

You do good work for a young fella, must've been paying attention in Woodshop instead of making pipes on the lathe.

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Nice setup!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Awesome !!

[@po123gsxr]

where did the 3in piece go? was it the piece you used to stop the arm from going back up to vertical? also do you have any suggestions to remove any play in the press? i picked up 2 different brackets thinking about putting them in the area near the screen holder. i just put it together about a week ago and tried it out yesterday and noticed some shift when the screen comes down.

[@codeinecreep]

I think he used it to space out the two pieces attached to the plywood

[@veseda3872]

are their actual plans for this on your website because i can't find them

[@JackmanWorks]

+Ivan Mantia there aren't any plans for this but I might put some together since there have been a few requests.

[@WasimKhan-il5qv]

Ivan Mantia

[@arwinmotovlog]

nice thanks for idea 😁

[@khairsgarage]

if i pay you can you build on for me? i can assemble it once the parts are pre drilled and cut

[@JackmanWorks]

+shahid mitchell where are you located? It probably won't be worth the cost of shipping unless you're close to RI

[@thezopelo]

Ill buy one if your still intrested

[@jeromeg429]

Jackman Works what is the shipping cost to send to Kennewick wa... just curious. Nice work by the way.

[@REKSOSTUDIO]

very cool

[@standepain]

lol This is great. No can you come up with a $20 belt dryer. ...or maybe you did already.

[@muhammedzaeem5795]

What do you do when you have to print more than one color?

[@JackmanWorks]

I don't :)

[@meshallejames8152]

Lamborghini Live but you HAVE to line each color with the first ....thats where it becomes a mess with only1

[@jamieryandowney9880]

It can be done rather easily. I recently learned that if you use a piece of clear plastic like transparency film, you can tape that down, and do a print on it, then use the print on the plastic to line up with the previous print, flip the film over and print on the paper or t shirt and repeat.

[@muhammedzaeem5795]

Jamie Ryan Downey. are you talking heat transfer stickers?

[@jamieryandowney9880]

No no. I mean...you tape a clear piece of plastic or mylar down that can be flipped out of the way (I personally have taped it to the right side. So after you have laid the first colour down, you set up the second screen and you do a print of the second colour on the plastic. then, put the paper under the plastic and register it the image that is on the plastic, then you flip the plastic out of the way once it's lined up and then print on the paper...because the plastic is taped down it will not move and the image shows you exactly where the screen is printing.

[@kevinkenny8739]

Nice no bull shit video, thanks.

[@daneo8317]

list of supplies with measurements?

[@teddyblankenship782]

can someone make a short little list of the sizes of the cuts and pieces needed to make this? I want to make this but i need to know the size of the wood cuts and the other pieces to buy and the video is way to fast and in pencil so i cant really see. Just a short list of the items needed.

[@adamchris1066]

Which size of platen to use for L, XL T-shirts printing ? With 16" x 20" Frame

[@jeromeg429]

Liked and subscribed 👍

[@boxesandbarbells]

What’s the metal piece called? The L shape? To hold the screen? I’m trying to Go buy one

[@Roachy8675309]

Look for angle iron

[@Tshepside]

I used springs, but my springs are pulling down rather than up, any idea why?

[@gojekbandung2157]

Tshepzinto ! Try span screw on the spring, and strengthen^^

[@mfwoodshop]

Cool

[@ManCrafting]

Did you make plans for this build? I want to do a video where I get the plans, borrow the tools and make the screen press all for free. ;-)

[@JackmanWorks]

haha didn't end up making plans for this one but if I did I'd charge $20 ;)

[@Forgodwelivegospel]

Jackman Works can you make one for me

[@ManCrafting]

Available on his website.

[@thakormukesha7040]

stat line

[@heliumbiscuits]

Build a $20 press! And you'll only need $1,000 worth of tools!

[@JackmanWorks]

Do you have a drill and a skill saw? You'd be surprised what you can create with just those 2 simple tools, give it a shot!!

[@heliumbiscuits]

OK, you are right. It can be done with simpler tools. How bout $150 in tools then? Or you could just borrow them.

[@JackmanWorks]

Exactly! Don't sell yourself short. You'd be shocked with the stuff I built when I was a kid just by borrowing my fathers corded drill and jig saw.

[@zachary_attackery]

you can rent all those tools from home depot

[@ManCrafting]

I had a neighbor I called the borrower. He painted his entire house borrowing the tools he needed. He rebuilt the surround on his front door entrance with borrowed tools. He took down 2-3 75 ft trees in his yard borrowing chainsaws. He had party's at his home with borrowed tables and chairs and other things that many people can't live without. So I imagine, this entire build could be done for $20 or less if your patient and find/recycle wood and aluminum.

[@CulturalEspionage]

huh huh huh huh

[@thakormukesha7040]

start You tube

[@ChevyChafes]

cool so $20 plus whatever amount of money it costs to buy or rent the tools needed.... no thanks

[@JackmanWorks]

Don't let excuses be a reason for inaction! All you need is a saw and a drill for this one.

[@demora6006]

ChevyChafes its worth it. I had the same mind set but I went to ask family and friends if I could borrow the tools for a couple hours and so I made my own a little different from the video but I made one that works and well now I have a small business making $100 to almost $400 a day, making t-shirts for people.

[@gruffmadness]

Just 1 color Dave, or do you swap screens for other colors?

[@demora6006]

gruff madness what I do is make different screens

[@demora6006]

for example I wanna put a face on my shirt I make a screen with the shape of the head only color white then I let it dry then wash the screen and add the skin color. I get another screen to make the shades or any other details then at the end I have another screen with the outline so I use black or whatever other color you want. That's how I do it
