Thanks it is not something I would do but I do appreciate the work it takes to do silk screen well.

That was pretty neat to see! Thanks for sharing this process. I have a fraction to decimal sign I got from April Wilkerson but it doesn't have the metric conversion on it which I sure would appreciate having.

RE-UPLOAD. Took this off the main channel for housekeeping reasons.

Thank you, thank you! I know you sometimes remove old videos or ones you've updated and remade, but I've learned something from every one of them. It's great to have them available here for reference instead of either disappearing or messing up metrics on the main channel. This can be the gentle and pleasant retirement home for old videos 🤭

I don’t remember this one coming out. I remember you saying you had some screen printing videos planned but I thought you just abandoned the idea.

I watched and looked for where to buy. Now I remember this being from a while ago. I wish I would have bought one the first time.

Excellent video, but wow that’s a lot of work! Thanks for a detailed overview of the process.

I backed the Xtool laser screen printing system - hopefully it speeds up this process. This process needs to be modernised - it takes so long to prep your screens.

Wonder if this would be the same procedure for screening onto a thin, 5 x 8 inch metal plate.....? Or is there another consideration. The plate will also be painted prior to screening... Thanks

What distance do you think would work for a 23x31 screen? Rough time using the same set up for everything else? Just want a ballpark from your experience.

I closed the screen to my right and print left it’s much easier than printing up n down

Just starting, my second time when I wash off the screen after lamp the entire screen washes out. 😲

Very very slow.

I don't know anything about this process, so this is a legit question: If you're making a poster, why not make it digitally and take it to the print shop? What's the advantage of screen printing?

@SomethingAboutMaking 7 ай бұрын

This is about doing it the old way. Getting your hands dirty and learning the process.

It’s nice but that’s a lot of work. Kudos to anyone that takes the time to learn and become proficient at the process

Just like the first time I watched this, I wonder why don't you have good audio and even lighting in your bathroom? 2019 - 31 of 50 😉

Foolish comment…thanks for taking the time to walk through your process. Any ideas on distance for a 23x31 screen? Using water based inks and a single 50watt UV light?
