Thank you for taking the time to mention where you got your plans and ideas from, giving credit where its due is an important part of being an honest maker, and too often people "forget"to mention their inspiration. So I applaud you for that! Great project, keep up the good work!
How can anyone not like this video? Really well put together. Thanks a lot :D only suggestion I'll make is that I'd love to see more of the finished product at the end and you testing out a print. I mean, I know how it all works, but it would be a great addition to your videos for viewers to see this badboy in action.
I really loved this screen printing press, however I tried to look for the free plan but it’s seems to not be available:( do u have the plan to build it by any chance ? Plzz 🙏
I just bought ths instead awhile ago and love it...www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016VSQVNO/ref=s9_zwish_hd_bw_bs7Wb_g201_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-8&pf_rd_r=0DF3AZMNVQ0R4GKW6PHY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=6df6bb6a-f883-5a2a-a20f-d2270a5c7713&pf_rd_i=12898641
He and with his home completed tools metal stuff..made him looked so man,! The way of his agility operated the machine nor tools, did a fast measurements,fixing it, till the things done,and can be a useful press printer is just wonderful. The kind of healthy and positive activities.
Hi Bob: Bob here. This is some beautiful work. Superb craftsmanship! Just a tip for anyone using J B Weld. If you can, rough up both faces you are trying to join with some sandpaper and I think you'll find that it holds a lot better. I used a ton of J B Weld when I made my one color press. Much respect and thanks a bunch!
Hey Bob :) That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing! I'll give that a go next time I use it. That makes a lot of sense because the aluminum that I was using was really really smooth. Thanks!!
This is by far the best tutorial on making this. I planned on making mine soon and altering the base like you to be able to clamp to most surfaces. The two temporary blocks to line the arms are a great idea. Thx for this!
Bob - so much gratitude for your video and guidance! I have successfully built your version of this press, and am ready for printing. Just picked up screens and ink yesterday! I wanted to add that when I drilled holes in my C clamps, I drilled two - close together in order to avoid the jb weld - on a drill press slowest speed using a little bit of oil (just motor oil) - and my cuts went super fast. Like less than 20 seconds. Also, I was thinking about making the platen large enough for the whole screen to rest on - don't know if this is completely necessary for most applications, but would allow for maximum printable area given the screen size. (using the 20x24" aluminum frame screens like you too. ) THANK YOU in the highest and best way bro! PEACE STeve ARnold Winnipeg, Canada
I know this video is old but I recently updated my screen print setup using toggle clamps and I figured I'd share that here. I'm considering building this rig myself and toggle clamps are awesome for quickly clamping down frames.
Nice I built this press back in 2009 when Michael Phipps came out with the plans I love my press still use it today. Nice that Ryonet thought it was a great video as well Cool!
I've been searching for one of those turn table brackets for years... never realised its called a lazy susan, bang found one straight away. You sir are a legend!
thanx body this video was a great help for me.Although there were some technical problems in keeping the screens at the right angle but I am trying to figure them out by replacing some parts with iron.
Checked out the plans and looks awesome and you did a good job yourself. However, I am wonderin what keeps the screen down and not just spring back up ?
wow mate. This is really cool. I love to make stuff too. I will make like this for my printing business. But sad to say, I don't have the tools like you have, the wood cutter, those heavy duty metal drills. But I will try to make using only a traditional hand saw :( tiring and not accurate. Again a very nice video, it inspires me more. Hope to see more from you. Edit: I'm glad I found the layout in your site. Request: Can you make a cool silk screen stretcher? That would be awesome. Made of wood too.
Looks pretty good...I have metal parts to shelving thrown away from dollar store and bought bearings and round flat metal plates to produce a six color printer with 4 platens machine with metal stand. I have worked at t-shirt shop many years and always thought it was easy to make press. Just looking around on youtube for better ideas to put mine together.
Cool! It looks a lot like the professional one I got to use in class this past semester when we did screen printing. I might have to make me one of these XD
Hey homie, nice video. I do visual displays and need to use eye screws pretty frequently. I started using a screwdriver and one day I looked at my gator grip drill attachment. It was the best discovery of my life. Super cheap, try it out
That's a good one dear. Kindly help with the measurements' specs for the timber material pieces that has been assembled to fabricate the MACHINE. Also include the other materials like screws, bolts and nuts and channels used etc
Great video. Thank you for making this. Would love to have seen added, what screens can be used, or sources where to get proper screens. Also, proper ink/paints to be used or sources to get them. Maybe even a quick demonstration of technique (apart from later-view, full video links), just for the sake of completeness. I understand that this is a "making" video, but those of us who come to these type of videos are interested in the whole process, and would like just a little more help beyond the build. Again, thank you for making this vid, and any info or response.
SwankeyMonkey Thanks! I have gotten several requests for a printing video, using the press. It's on my list of upcoming projects. Honestly, my biggest source is Amazon, so there's not much to share there, but I'll try to cover the screen making process, as well as printing multi color prints with the press.
Awesome video! The only issue I see is for adjusting off contact. Otherwise looks great. Its probably possible to make an 8 color press the same way. Can you make a video on making a vacuum exposure unit?
I was building mine and I noticed that the little angle pecies for the clamps are only needed if you use 2-1/2 inch clamps. 2 Inch clamps dont need them.
Just what I need, enlightening your video, ready to print my T-shirts,.... I've seen other videos where the shirt holder has an adjustment screw, you know if it's important this accessory ....gracias saludos
Let's see this sucker in action. Proof of concept and such. If you spent 2 months tweeting it and had to change a couple thing it would be great to know. Thanks. Great vid. Lends itself to Frank Harwath only without the stop motion.
I definitely plan on doing a printing video with it (once I get my next shirt designed) but I have used it once and it worked GREAT! I was really surprised honestly. I think if anything, there will be some trial and error with getting the registration to match between different screens, but that's really all about precision when marking the centers of the screen and centering the art. Thanks! and I'll definitely get a printing video up in the near future!
I wonder? Do you still use this? If so, Pros v Cons? What would you do different, Metal or Aluminum perhaps? Quality v. consistency v. Speed? Just Curious. Would really like to build this exact thing.
Hi dude. I have a press station but I need to make a custom sized plate because the supplied one isn't big enough for what need. Could you share what type of wood you used for the plate and how you've found it in terms of resisting potential warping from a flash dryer. Thank you :)

I mean, I know how it all works, but it would be a great addition to your videos for viewers to see this badboy in action.
Thanks! I recently did another printing video and show it just printing a one color print.
I really loved this screen printing press, however I tried to look for the free plan but it’s seems to not be available:( do u have the plan to build it by any chance ? Plzz 🙏
I DID THIS!! got all my stuff from home depot and lower. and now i have my own company and brought all new equipment.
How much did it cost you to build it?
+TheMajorPCGamer around 350 total.
I just bought ths instead awhile ago and love it...www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016VSQVNO/ref=s9_zwish_hd_bw_bs7Wb_g201_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-8&pf_rd_r=0DF3AZMNVQ0R4GKW6PHY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=6df6bb6a-f883-5a2a-a20f-d2270a5c7713&pf_rd_i=12898641
$350???
Almost no way it cost you that much to build this.
home depot is expensive, you can got it cheaper on small stores and buying used wood
He and with his home completed tools metal stuff..made him looked so man,!
The way of his agility operated the machine nor tools, did a fast measurements,fixing it, till the things done,and can be a useful press printer is just wonderful.
The kind of healthy and positive activities.
Thank you so much Steve Buscemi
Lol, that's exactly what I was thinking 😂
Throw in some bad teeth and a lazy eye... Pre Wedding Singer era, maybe?
This Man has it down. I like how he gets to the point and makes it all quick and e-z .

What a great instructional. The time elapse photography works far better than video. And your narration is very clear.
Great to see all the work put into these videos rewarded with so much more work, views and subscribers. OG fan here, Bob! Thanks for everything.
Best screen presser of all the DIYs I’ve seen in youtube!
Wow. great build. Would love to see a followup with the press in action seeing issues that come up with it and the final product that you can get.
This is by far the best tutorial on making this. I planned on making mine soon and altering the base like you to be able to clamp to most surfaces. The two temporary blocks to line the arms are a great idea. Thx for this!
Awesome, I'm so glad it was helpful! I used this press for the first time, last week, and it worked great. Best of luck on your build!
nice job, clear & concise & nice y'all gave the creators of the plans credit.
Bob - so much gratitude for your video and guidance! I have successfully built your version of this press, and am ready for printing. Just picked up screens and ink yesterday!

Great! That's a good call on drilling two holes in each clamp!
Thank you! I'm starting a Screen Printing business in my garage and I needed this! This helped me alot since I'm 14 and I have no money haha
I know this video is old but I recently updated my screen print setup using toggle clamps and I figured I'd share that here. I'm considering building this rig myself and toggle clamps are awesome for quickly clamping down frames.
Thank you Bob as someone new to silk screening You saved me a fortune in equipment cost just for the table itself
Nice functional screen press. Like the modifications!
Nice I built this press back in 2009 when Michael Phipps came out with the plans I love my press still use it today. Nice that Ryonet thought it was a great video as well Cool!
A new hobby that I am getting into. Thanks. This was a great video.
I've been searching for one of those turn table brackets for years... never realised its called a lazy susan, bang found one straight away. You sir are a legend!
thanx body this video was a great help for me.Although there were some technical problems in keeping the screens at the right angle but I am trying to figure them out by replacing some parts with iron.
This Bob is so sad, the new Bob is happier. Cool project tho.
he is sad because he had to sacrifice his clamps
no beard..looks better with a beard
You can't use Bob Ross's name like that! It's like people in the 1,300's forsaking God's name guy! Wtf?
@@abelinkin damn straight brotha! Bearded and proud!
He looks that way as he has been a RUclipsr before the major filtering, and knows the evils of our keepers. ;-)
Absolute best video on how to build a screen printer I have seen.
Thanks John
this was cool. I taught screenprinting at UC Davis for about 25 years. in the early days we had one similar to this attached to a 55 gal drum.
Wish I would have had this when I made this press 3 or 4 years ago mine worked but definitely didn't look as nice as this one. Nice Job.
Great Tut, can not say how bloody excellent this is!
Well that just popped in my recommended,
didn't know your channel goes this back.
Awesome video Bob of I Like To Make Stuff! :)
honestly way better than some pro ones I've seen
Great build beardless Bob!
man, I was really looking forward to seeing it in action.
Dude very gud directions speed is great voice extra clear& not lazy. KOOL' will Subscribe'
I have seen most your videos, really really good job man. keep it up. Thank you.
Man you made a really classic 4 color T-Shirt printer just great .
Great Video Bob.
Do you need to purchase the screens or can they be homemade?
+SonarIsDead They can be, but I've found over the years that the store bought ones, especially aluminum, last a lot longer.
I got build my screen printing machine for watch this, my business grow over night, thank you
Thank you very much, have an good afternoon 😀
Checked out the plans and looks awesome and you did a good job yourself. However, I am wonderin what keeps the screen down and not just spring back up ?
Future Bob is allot happier :) Be like Future Bob.
the machine u builed is very use ful for screen printer thank you...................
Litterally the coolest thing I have ever seen ( besides a fighter jet)
Really nice table making
wow mate. This is really cool. I love to make stuff too. I will make like this for my printing business. But sad to say, I don't have the tools like you have, the wood cutter, those heavy duty metal drills. But I will try to make using only a traditional hand saw :( tiring and not accurate.

Hes changed in three years
John Venier the intro hasn't xD
yeah his confidence has boosted
I was thinking (almost) the same... a year on ;)
You hasn’t changed much in six years either
Cool! It looks a lot like the professional one I got to use in class this past semester when we did screen printing. I might have to make me one of these XD
Great video...if only it could be made that quickly!
Hey homie, nice video. I do visual displays and need to use eye screws pretty frequently. I started using a screwdriver and one day I looked at my gator grip drill attachment. It was the best discovery of my life. Super cheap, try it out
my print-making class would need this

That's a good one dear. Kindly help with the measurements' specs for the timber material pieces that has been assembled to fabricate the MACHINE.
Also include the other materials like screws, bolts and nuts and channels used etc
Very good video, very educating and helpful.
Excellent job on this video! Thank you!
Awesome awesome video and very well built!
Awesome work! I need this in my life
Using bolts and nuts for the arm hinges should make things tighter and better fitting over time.
Ohh bob i just want to give you a hug and tell you its going to be okay, keep being awesome!
This was super helpful! I am thinking about building one!
So helpfull for my starting clothing business, thank's for the videos, very smart and creative
this was so so sooo helpful, thank you so much!!
, now i have a summer project to do, once i get my silk screen material
Great video. Thank you for making this.
Would love to have seen added, what screens can be used, or sources where to get proper screens. Also, proper ink/paints to be used or sources to get them. Maybe even a quick demonstration of technique (apart from later-view, full video links), just for the sake of completeness.

I Like To Make Stuff
Thank you. Thank you very much for the response and attention to these ideas for a future helpful video. And again, great video.
This is how theXMen Quick Silver working on rotary screen printing. Don't blink! Lol good job!
WOW, that was fantastic.
Awesome video! The only issue I see is for adjusting off contact. Otherwise looks great. Its probably possible to make an 8 color press the same way.
Can you make a video on making a vacuum exposure unit?
I was building mine and I noticed that the little angle pecies for the clamps are only needed if you use 2-1/2 inch clamps. 2 Inch clamps dont need them.
i would really like to have the measurement of each lumber so i can build mine.
Would it
About how much do you think it cost to build this?
also did you create a build plan with your modifications and specifications? I'd like to have them.
Excellent and I'm building it thanks very good work
Great job, man. Very good idea. Thanks for share!!!
very very help full video thanks brother
Just what I need, enlightening your video, ready to print my T-shirts,.... I've seen other videos where the shirt holder has an adjustment screw, you know if it's important this accessory ....gracias saludos
So what's the total cost for this entire project?
I think the angle of the clamp helps it to stay against the aluminum angle
Excellent video…I wish this was around 30 years ago when I first started screen printing....
Let's see this sucker in action. Proof of concept and such. If you spent 2 months tweeting it and had to change a couple thing it would be great to know. Thanks.
Great vid. Lends itself to Frank Harwath only without the stop motion.

Hi Bob, I'm mike, and I like to make stuff! So I've subcribed to your channel.
Great job man. I searching this. Thanks for sharing and success fore you..
Wow how awesome !! Thanks man !!
I wonder? Do you still use this? If so, Pros v Cons? What would you do different, Metal or Aluminum perhaps? Quality v. consistency v. Speed? Just Curious. Would really like to build this exact thing.
Veryp professional, i must make this by own based on your precious idea,
what are the best screens to use for most shirts n such,ie, 110,120,180. there is so many choices. Great video by the way. Thx.
u should make a shot glass shelf that can hold 10 or more glasses and some different sizes of them
Perfectly good work
Greetings from Colombia
Wonderful project.thanks
Very nice project!
Wow! Good job...
awesome video - and such an inspiration!
what measurements did u use for the baseplate and how long are ur 2by4's underneath it? Thanks, awesome video, can't wait to start
you are so talented. Can you show me how you build a screen printing press for coffee mugs and pens or any other cylindrical item etc.
Hi dude. I have a press station but I need to make a custom sized plate because the supplied one isn't big enough for what need. Could you share what type of wood you used for the plate and how you've found it in terms of resisting potential warping from a flash dryer. Thank you :)
Man you should sell these things !! That's so cool
This looks great Mate! Thanks for the vid
Awesome than awesome..two thumbs up!
Hi Bob! Cheer up Bob!
3:18 How do I not have one of those hold down clamps? That will make securing stuff on my drill press so much slicker. Thanks Bob!
Great! Just what I was seaching for!
awesome work !
GREAT JOB!!!!
Very good and super!!!
