I Upgraded My Embroidery Machine!

[@seasons-psd]

This is starting to feel like a reality show lol but in a good way

[@LomoPlateAldo]

Yeah! I kind of want to see each employe get like a solo time with the camera every once in a wild. (confessionary style)

[@leestuart38]

Glad to hear! That's kind of what we're going for

[@daynerohn3259]

Fuck yea! Lean management is working it's magic! Organizing, labeling, making things faster to grab! Everything having a home! Efficiency! When there are only so many hours in a day every foot step you can save is a win!! Also that training session with Jordan was fucking awesome!! I actually learned from that, and I thought I had coating down! 😅 SOLID!! 🤘🏼

[@Staticstudiochicago]

Inspired to keep going with my clothing brand. The process of making it come to life. Kudos on the improvement of your shop. Looks fun to work for you.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks! The process of continuous improvements has been cool to watch as they all stack up into big changes around here

[@distinctperformancellc]

Love the clean shop. I’m the same way, I can’t function with a dirty shop. That limited edition banner is sick! Your employee Jorden learned coating quickly. Awesome vid!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks! He's coming along, has screen prep and coating dialed now. Time to start showing him how to print I think 🤔

[@slickf00t]

Bro, you've come such a long way from trolling the streets on bike in a penguin costume. I dig the little improvements. A place for everything and everything has a place.

[@lowtidecustoms1166]

Hell yeah!! great video, production quality has not suffered at all since you handed off the reigns. I need that new banner for my shop!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man. There's 4 styles available, get them now before they're gone!

[@GuitarGuyFromNC]

Your table saw fence has a flip over part that will support the material when the fence is extended that far. Helps keep things stable.

[@bigbearcanada1]

Looking good! I do find one hand coating easier than using both hands.

[@adamratliff3590]

Love all the content you been putting out lately.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks!

[@gianoliver7103]

a small pet peave, when pouring out liquids from a round container, make sure it's on a side without importmant infos on the label , so the drips don't cover up importmant info and right after scrape edge with a piece of cardboard or rag. Really like the effort, the small things matter. I think the little things improve the result a lot.

[@nicklarson801]

Throw some drawers on those lower shelves and put your thread in there, that way you can pull them out when you need them.

[@gruposcalybursadecv997]

great video!!!! learning from the pro!

[@mikephilpott8541]

Talk to someone with a 3D printer, and swap some stickers for the holders for your small containers. Just an idea. Great videos.

[@matthewmanning8413]

Really good boss!!

[@darksidevenom6]

love that put in the fucking work vinyl!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks! They look sick hanging up 🤘🏻

[@katiedolfman6496]

That white print on those black shirts was sooo bright! What white ink do you run?

[@leestuart38]

I run wilflex bolt white, but the ink itself has little to do with how bright it is. It's all about having the proper setup with your screens and your press.

[@ryansteinbarge5599]

What lights are you using in your shop, since you are coating screens and burning them without a set dark room. Just wondering if your shop lights are a special light not emitting uv light

[@ЗдравкоВасилев-в6и]

Hi, what is the tool you use to perforate the banners? Thanks, the videos are great!

[@leestuart38]

It's a sharpened piece of 3/8" tubing. Thanks!

[@mccadd86]

I wish I worked for you and with you. Why can't you be my coworker? I love how organized you are. Some people miss the point of why one's workspace needs to be clean and organized. Your finished products are a reflection of the space you work in. Also, for me, the way you work says a lot about you as a person. If you work chaos, it tells me your home life is the same. I work with a lazy bum. He isn't proactive and he's not good at organizing, and isn't willing to even put forth the effort to be. I'm not saying you have to work like me, but if I organize the ENTIRE workspace, week after week. When you go to place something on the shelves, all I ask is that you do it in manner that keeps me from cleaning up behind you. I'm also an artist, so I can't create until my house is organized. Thats just how my mind works. I live by the motto: A clean home is a clear mind. I also love how you gave Jordon his own B-roll. You are such an amazing boss. You are so encouraging. I wish you continued success. I wish the same for your crew. 💜 (don't be freaked out by the heart, I'm not a dude) 😂😮

[@leestuart38]

You hit the nail on the head, your workspace is a reflection of your work. I've never once seen a filthy, ink covered shop producing top level work...ever. It's also totally disrespectful to the people working there. We try to be better every time we step in the shop and it shows. Thank you 🙏🏻

Pick up a Festool trac saw. Compact and easy to store, safer to.

[@leestuart38]

I'd love one. They make nice stuff

[@JaxonRyan_Creative]

@@leestuart38 there are a lot of others to, Marita makes a good one and cordless. Easy to setup and no dust in the garage.

[@KaylaKrische]

Can you make a banner that says "Put in the Freaking Work" for us that can't put the F word up because of kids or whatever other reason. 😆 I'd buy it yesterday.

[@leestuart38]

I may have to come up with something for that 🤔

[@TheSpud1129]

@@leestuart38 I think a lot of us would buy them. I can't drop a giant F-bomb in the workshop because of the little ones...

[@KaylaKrische]

@@leestuart38 I'd appreciate it. My kids can read now 😂

[@MsZrican10]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@vlcustoms]

Do you coat screen under yellow light. I see you are not in a darkroom

[@leestuart38]

White LED lights don't emit enough UV to cause any harm to our emulsions, and there are no windows or any other forms of UV light in my shop

[@madmandocrypto]

Oh that $20 was mine, the wind blew it out of my hands. If you tell me the serial number I can verify it. ;).

[@1dejapooh]

Do you do custom banners?

[@leestuart38]

Yes we do

[@matthewmanning8413]

Could do with filming with a gimbal. Camera is a little choppy to watch

[@mattybulman]

2:23 anyone know what brill bit is being used? I make banners and never seen a drill bit to cut holes which would be really handy.
