Making A Screen Printing Press - Woodworking

My wife offered me a screenprint printing kit for my birthday, so I could print my own "The Redsmith" t-shirt for my oline shop.

I need to print two colors but only have one screen, so I decided to make a printing press to hold the screen and make repetitive printing, but also be able to reverse the screen on the press. Doing so, I'll be able to print two colors on the same spot (and this will be shown in the next video)

I used upcycled materials for this build (bed parts and plywood I found in the streets). The only parts I bought were the hinges and the vertical handle toggle clamp.

The build is pretty straight forward. It's just a frame resting on a board, with two positioning blocks and higes to lift the frame up. The press doesn't need to be pretty, just serve it purpose. I put three coats of polyurethane to protect the press from time and paint.

I hope you'll like the video.
