Great vid. Two tips for ya, print twice to get a less transparent look. You have that smart frame so getting it to line up perfectly should be cake. Also cutting OUT the letters and letting the ink go into the groves is another look.- less screenprinty and more rustic. Also more fun to carve out vs avoiding the letters, less work as well..

Cheap dollar store craft acrylic paint (the kind that comes in flip top plastic bottles) holds up really well on fabric in this kind of application. I have a few shirts I made over a year ago that have been washed many times and they still look great.

Nice video man! I hope this inspires people to recycle some old shirts and have some DIY fun. Just a little tip that could save you some carving time and ultimately help you get straighter and more controlled lines: Instead of going with gouges from the getgo, use a Hangi To (Japanese Woodblock Carving chisel - They are in every basic set I'm sure you'll have one lying around) to trace your design before using the gouge tool. The Hangi To is sharpened only on one side and that's very important; You need to have the flat side of the blade facing out, towards the part of the linoleum you want to gouge. The angled or chiseled side of the blade should face towards your design. Hold the tool at a 60-ish degree angle and cut along the outline of your design. Once that is done, gouge the part you want to discard with your preferred tool. This ensures straighter lines and keeps the linoleum at the very edge strong so it doesn't wear over time and/or deform under pressure. What you're aiming for is an edge that's slightly slanted outwards.

It has been a few decades since I did similar tee shirt imprinting, but I always put something thin, and rigid, inside the tee shirt I was printing. Cardboard works. Nice video. Thanks for the share.

I liked within 10 seconds and was not disappointed, the best video so far describing this process.

I was able to sneak away and watch. Man, your videos are so good! They're just so clear & precise. Great job, Doug!

Doug, Nicely done. I love how you show the process including the figuring out fixes for obstacles. Your camera work always inspires me to be more intentional with mine. It looks great.

Really dig your video style! Always look forward to watching when my phone notifies me you uploaded! Like the simplicity of the block print, and the frame for holding the shirts down was a great quick fix. I may just have to try this with my logo for shirts!

Thanks for this vid! I really appreciate the advice about mounting the lino on a block, and handling the shirt fabric.

Thank you for that! I'm starting research for a stamping projet and this video is very helpful!!

Excellent. I liked how you approached it differently that just screen printing. Cheers!

You always produce great videos Doug. And the kids look happy in their new t-shirts.

Alright, son. You just earned yourself a subscriber. Nicely done.

Fantastic video! These turned out great. Awesome job, Doug!

Great video, I have been wondering about this for awhile and never found time to research. This was very informative and you make the project look very approachable. Thanks for your awesome videos! Keep them up!

This was actually very helpful, thank you for an easy step by step video!

Doug, great video, as usual. It was nice to meet your handcrafted products... your kids.

Came out great! Good idea on making that frame to hold the shirt down.

Very enjoyable video to watch, and a very good idea for printing t-shirts cheaply. Thanks for sharing.

great video

Thank you for sharing!! You make it look pretty easy. Eager to get supplies now :)

Great job! This gives me lots of ideas for things to try thanks for sharing!

Try spray adhesive to keep the shirt from lifting and botching the design. Great vid bare information.

Fantastic video man! Lots of useful tips and very entertaining :) The shirts came out great. I definitely want to give this a try.

Great JOB!

Great tutorial! Love this 🌸

Hey Doug, that turned out so cool! I really like the weathered look that it makes. As usual, your editing and film quality are second to none. Awesome pics of the kids too! So what's it gonna take for me to get my hands on one of those shirts? :)

Hello, thats really nice, but what kind of inc did you use. Is it just random block printing inc or some special inc?

This was very helpful 👍 thanks

Wow

Very good video!!

Another great video!

Why would you glue before you finished carving?

Nice video but ive been having some problems, within about 2 washes the ink is almost unreadable I'm using speedball block printing fabric ink letting it cure for 5 days and then washing , am I doing something wrong or is the ink I m using trash?

THIS IS BADA$$!!! Awesome job.

Great finished product. Any reason you were against screen printing? I'm planning some shirts myself and am also trying to decided the method of printing that I can reliably and repeatably DIY

Thanks for the video! Any curing process for the ink? how durable did you find the Speedball ink to be after some washes and use?

Subscribed - I'll be back to watch this after 42Fab stream

@DN Handcrafted Have you done this process without glueing the lino to wood block? Would it create the same effect without

hey what paint do you use? :) I tested a lot of paints and the effects are different ... I care about a paint that will be durable after repeated washing and covered as nicely as it is at your place.

Awesome video man! I think I might try this out as well, if you don't mind me asking what brand of shirt did you use to print these on in your video (the charcoal and red colored shirts) or can you recommend a shirt brand for this?

👍👍

Great idea! what kind of linoleum do you suggest. Do you think it would work well for a logo stamp?

Does the print wash out?

can you do apink designed logo??

As a printmaker, I had to stop and watch your video. Great Job! May I ask what kind of Ink you used?

I like the video, but I thinks it's probably easier and cheaper to just buy a small screen and squeegee.

What kind of shirts did you print on?
