Making a Printing Press

[@liljohnnotbigjohn]

"Too complicated for my abilities" Says the guy who built a fricken astrolabe, scrollsaw, and literally 90% of the stuff you see in these videos, including the workspace. Get in there!! show that press no mercy!

Hahaha... Thanks! once I get dipper into printmaking I'll see what this press is fully capable of, if It's not holding up in terms of pressure I'll look into making the pizza roller.

[@ClaesKamp]

I used to work with print making at a letterpress museum and was maybe one of two or three people under 50 years old in my country who knew the craft. So happy whenever i see other people getting in to traditional print making. Would be awesome to see you carve some wooden type so you can print different words and sentences. I once spent around 2000 hours hand setting and printing a book in 50 copies. Lots of work but i am so happy i have a copy of the book in my book shelve now. Beautiful work as always! =)

@@alifetomake The story goes that the American and German engineers were having a contest. The Americans sent the smallest threaded bolt they could manufacture, which required a microscope to be viewed. A month later, they received the same bolt back in the mail. They were about to celebrate victory, when one of the Americans noticed that the Germans had drilled a hole through the center of it.

[@MannyJazzcats]

Uri stop being so good at stuff you make me feel inadequate.

[@generaljordet6623]

Just a tip! Rub your wooden nails with some olive oil before pressing them in, that way they will be easier to press in, and the oil will make the wood expand so that they will be locked in place😁 beautiful work👌🏻

[@miko007]

pro tip: use linseed oil. it wont go bad and it hardens, so it seals the wood.

[@heracliobernal2357]

Thank you very much for the tip General Jordet, I'll pass it on to my kids and nephews / nieces. These little tricks are rare to know.

[@miko007]

@@pennycandyys you could use wax, but wax does not harden, nor does it soak into the wood.

[@Jonas_Keunecke]

[@Losantiville]

That should be great for any relief printing ! Intaglio really needs scraping or rolling pressure to force the blanket and paper down into the incised lines to pick up the ink. Made a lithography press mostly of wood.

[@kellogdovahkiin2187]

Whenever i make anything im never very acurate and allways misalign holes and edges, whenever i think of perfect acuracy i allways think of your work

[@tummy_fritters]

[@eatenkate]

Tip for printing an engraving: make sure you give your paper a good long soak, and get a THICK piece of sturdy (preferably real wool) felt. And remember to file the edges of your printing plate otherwise you'll cut through the paper.

[@urituchmanpigeon]

Thanks! yeah, I already ordered 6mm felt (man, they're expansive). let me know if you have a recommendation for a good printing paper.

[@eatenkate]

Yeah it's super expensive... Boesner has 'kupferdruckpapier but they only seem to sell per package', if you want to buy loose sheets just go to any art supply store and ask for kupferdruckpapier. Basically the paper needs to have fibers that are long enough so it doesn't fall apart when it's wet, or be so thin that the printing process will tear it apart. Standard A4 paper is exactly what you don't want - thin and fragile with short fibers.

[@rushley5813]

Looks amazing as always id suggest doing some brass rails on the side so as to keep your columns from binding and marring the surface finish

[@aserta]

A4 sized label paper, take the backing (so maybe use the actual label and don't discard the backings) do not touch it with your fingers or get it dirty. Put it in the printer, print whatever you need as a reverse image on the label backing then carefully reverse and flatten against the item you need marked with ink (wood, plastic, metal) on items that don't absorb the ink, use a heat gun on medium.

Dear Uri, thanks again for this amazingly enjoyable videos. I really like your style and you inspire me a lot. You might have been in Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nürnberg. But in case you haven't been yet, I highly recommend you to visit one day. You can find lots of old beautifully handmade presses with wooden threads which is called "Trapezgewindespindel" in German. And also as this video reminded me Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nürnberg, there were a lot of old Astrolabes as well as I remember you made one of those too.
