Build your screen printing table with hinges

Do you have screen printing hinges or are you thinking about buying some? Below we explain in a very simple and economical way how to assemble your own wooden printing machine! With a couple of boards, some hinges, and some screws you can build your one-color t-shirt printing table!

The measurements depend a lot on the space where you are going to work and your needs; you should make it based on the size of the base where the t-shirt will go. You can make the base about 40cm by 50cm.

We need the following:
1 wooden board 40x50cm (1)
1 wooden board 40x30cm (3)
1 wooden slat approximately 60cm long (2)
2 wooden slats approximately 15cm long (5)
1 piece of wood approximately 35cm long and 15cm wide (4)

Slats 2 and 5 must have the same height; the best would be to have a 90cm slat and cut it into 60+15+15.
Woods 1 and 4 must also have the same height.

Slats 2-5 and woods 1-4 must have the same height since 1-4 go just above 2-5. This helps us so that when lowering the screen (held with the hinges) it remains parallel to the base where the t-shirt goes and does not create much distance between the screen and the base.

In the following drawing you can see how it is assembled:

The woods must be screwed so they do not move:
5-5-2 must be screwed to 4.
5-5-2 must also be screwed to their base 3.
Slat 2 must be screwed to base 3 and to the t-shirt base 1. On the t-shirt base, I recommend putting 2 or 3 screws.
The screen printing hinges will be screwed to wood number 4, they must be aligned.

If you wish, once assembled, you can screw or fasten base 3 to a table to prevent it from moving. You can also fasten it to the table with some clamps.
