I've used this now to make about 30 screens, and while it works well for me, I would recommend applying some grease to the threads where the tightening handles attach. Because they are a relatively small thread, and the rod and nut are not hardened, they tend to gall and bind with the forces involved. I had to replace one of them after the galling got so bad it destroyed the threads. Greasing them makes the action much smoother, prevents damage, and will allow you to crank on them more, giving you more screen tension. Update: My process for stretching screens is now this: Setup the mesh and stretch as normal, checking tension, glue down two connecting sides and spray with accelerator. Then tension some more, then glue the remaining two sides. I find this allows me to get a higher tension on the screen. The limitation to getting a high tension is the mesh keeps tearing. I glue the sides that are already starting to show some tearing. At this point I'm averaging around 20-21 N/cm. I also recommend sanding the top sharp edges of the aluminum frame, the part the mesh bends over at the top. Doing this can help to prevent the mesh from ripping if that edge is sharp.
Amigo Richard Dios derrame muchas bendiciones en usted y su familia por tomarse su tiempo para enseñarnos muchas gracias señor Richard me puede decir como se llama la herramienta conque usted preciona en la vase del taladro la lamina para poder aser perforación ala platina le agradezco bendiciones un abrazo desde Colombia 🇨🇴 bogota
Gracias por ver. No estoy seguro de a qué te refieres. ¿Puedes decirme en qué momento del video ocurre esto? (marca de tiempo) Creo que te refieres al cortador de plasma, que uso para cortar las manijas. ¿O tal vez el disco de lijado de la amoladora neumática con la que limpio los marcos? Estoy usando el traductor de Google para esto, así que podríamos tener problemas para comunicarnos.

I pull some mesh out of the stretcher by the corners . Get good tension in the center but won't rip or come off on the corners.
@@kristmadsen That's a good idea, thanks!
Excellent! Thank you for visualizing this for me. I love that we can reduce and reuse I think I'm gonna give this a shot
Very nice. Very similar to the plans I had in my head but yours is simpler so I think I’ll steal your ideas. Haha 😉
Excellent! Thanks
Its so jenious, thankyou
Good job
Well done.
Thanks.
Thank you!
Muito bom mesmo parabéns esse modelo é prático e funcional 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Thankiu...

Great. 👍
But How about DTF and or DTG printer sir?
Maravilhoso. Bem simples. Me inscrevi....
It's crazy to think that at the beginning of 2020 the wood would of been the cheapest part of the build!
True!
genious!

Can you report to external measures?
The outside measures approximately 29 x 39 inches.
do you have a plan for this?
I had no plan when I built it, just winged it :-)
Glue name please
It's cyanoacrylate glue (crazy glue, super glue, etc.) whatevers cheapest, available at the hardware store.
