This looks like it would be really useful as a book press, too. I'm going to try this out.
I was going to say the same thing. I've been wanting to try both book binding and letterpress printing, and this has possibilities for both. One of the videos that showed up in the suggestions beside this video gave me another idea. I could leave the caulk gun out and grab the jack from my van. That could easily apply more than enough pressure for either application, or enough pressure to split the device apart at the seams if I'm not careful. I might have to try Cajun rigging a similar device with a car jack and try it out.
Very simple yet ingenious! I like the way you sped up the film making too. Often people don't realise that an unedited film can loose its interest. Fun to watch!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Fantastic idea with some minor modifications to even out and smooth the process. Lovely, absolutely lovely
This is superb video for those of us novices who do not want to invest hundreds of dollars on equipment. Your directions and advice were clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much. I also enjoyed that you have a goofy sense of humor!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video.
Thank you for making this easy to follow video sharing your very creative solution! Not only was this a problem I have been trying to work out (even went so far as to buy an old panini press to convert it - not a clean look due to the angle of pressing), but you made it very approachable. Your plans are a home crafters dream and your video is an incredibly informative guide. Keep up the creative ideas, sir, and thank you for making one cat lady very excited about building a printing press!
I'm glad you liked the video!
this is EXACTLY what i looking for. I’ve been racking my brains for months thinking in a solution, and here it is!
Dude this is sweet. Much simpler than rollers and more consistent than a lever. I'm making one for sure
The final result looks so clean. Loved the bloopers. 😂😂
Thanks!
Just built it in an afternoon. Now I have to wait for the glue to dry. Great instructions! Thanks!
Hi, This is great. Thank you. I've been looking for an inexpensive press for a long time; this might do the trick. At very least it looks like a fun project! I'm going to try a larger press to accommodate a larger page size and use two guns. Wish me luck.
How did it turn out?
Great video and the outtake were pure gold. I found this looking for a way to make a press for paper, not homemade paper, but the kind where you glue laminate multiple pages together to make something you can sculpt. Your press gives me ideas, but I don't think there there is a way I could drill that tough metal part. I might be able to find/make a collar that I can drill and fit over it, however. In any case, thanks for the great video and inspiration!
Very clever idea and easy to make. It would be a good shop project for schools, as well as anyone interested in making an inexpensive press.
That's really good. Wonder if there's a way to measure the amount of pressure you get with this.
Hi Vinny, good idea !! bloopers are always fun to watch too 😀
Very nice,real good idea and do not worry about the voice it is the brains that count.
Dear Makify1, Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Thanks for simple easy to understand instructions.

The outtakes 😅 thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Your sound is so friendly and you have made with wood printer amazing no one has built like this 😊😊😊😀😀😀😀
good job. I LOVE the outtakes.
Thanks :)
Is it just me but his voice sounds so friendly
It's not just you. It's me as well
And what does the voice have to do with making a press
@@bradowens4052 Turn it off
@@walterhynson2898 so very nice yes
Thank you so much. this is genius. I will make this at home. you are a life savior.
Thanks for a great tutorial - I am brand new to lino cut printing so you lit a huge light bulb for me 😊 And - I LOVED the take out shots at the end 😂😂😂 Happy Christmas 2018 😊
thank you for this video. you should put the block down first and the fabric on top so you don't risk shifting
Oooh, good tip. Thanks!
Very well done!! 😂!! You realize your idea will jumpstart more ideas
love the bloopers
i actually needed this for a book press either way it works perfectly
Thanks for a straightforward presentation. Well done! And thanks for the link to the free plans.
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.
I'm looking for plans for a book binding press, and I think by adding a second caulk gun this could easily be good for book binding as well.
great video and clever application of the caulk gun thanks...subbed.
caulk gun, genius...I'm also a fan of bloopers :)
I love book binding. And I really need this thing. The DIY book bind that I made is okay. But a real press like this would be so much better!
Awesome device! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness this is gunna be a life changer 👏🏼 thank you so much!!
Good job,I like the way you work... Like a mad beaver through wood.
Somebody get this man a band-saw. Nice project. Also noticed the new drills. Like them?
+Simon White Yes, they are very nice. Love the impact driver. Never realized how useful those things were until I owned one.
Wonderful tutorial! Especially liked the out-takes :) Thanks for sharing
I'm glad you liked it!
Jeanne Durocher
nice alternative to the car jack design. btw when you have a dremle you can just use that to sand the caulk gun after cutting
Found this video, it is so helpful!!! THANKS FREDDIE!! x
I agree freddie!!! x
A good idea. I liked watching you build your press. Nicely done!
this press is a bit nicer than a nipping press which you have to screw in a downward direction (the top plate always wants to shift in the direction you're turning as it comes down on the print block) Because you come directly down on the wood block, it's a nicer design. I'm going to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent tutorial. Notice all your tools seem brand new!
I try to keep good care of them.
Nice Work!
Great video! Just wondering if you or any of your viewers have had success printing etching with this press? Many thanks
Increíble tu idea… tiene el potencial para ser mejorada y
utilizada en escuelas
Thanks, nice explanation and demonstation.
I'm a bookbinder and currently am using a traditional book press along with a DIY press made from 2 pieces of plywood and 4 bolts w/ wing nuts to tighten. I'd like to make one a bit more functional than the DIY press, something more similar to what you have here (a mechanism on top to drop the plate and apply pressure). Do you think that's something you might create in the future? Thanks!
Great job!!!
Fricking Genius!!!
great idea! Sweet! Thanks!
thanks I will start building mine tomorrow
GENIUS!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial and moreover thank you for the bloopers!! ahaha loved it!
Thanks. Very helpful tips.
Great video! Love the outtakes. lol
Though not as quick, I couldn't help but think that simply sandwiching two boards with a few clamps could accomplish the same thing. No?
Yes, that's a good idea. If you were making a bunch of prints, the press might be faster but your idea should work well for small batches of prints.
Very inventive! Who knew?!?
video bagus simple dan sederhana, trims frend
Great!you should be rewarded!
Use a cutting oil like Tap Magic when drilling into something like that.
no need to drill just screw down with 4 self tappers with the head over the edge of the metal circle
fantastic!! so wonderful of you to share this! thank you :)
brilliant, do you think it have enough pressure to be used with a leather die cut too?
Props to you for using an old-school miter saw.
Nice idea I would also try it out
But the pressure is only in the centre since the print is a small but what if it's a large piece of lino then can the pressure be even plz let us know tks
your bloopers made me subscribe XD
Really cool! Good luck in your printing adventures!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Really awesome video!
+Samba Vocalize Thanks! :)
Neat idea, I'll have to experiment with this.
Excellent👌 now I just need to make it! 😂
Good and Simple Thank you
Thank you for sharing, where do you get ink?
Using the caulking gun was inspired. Nice job :)
Phil
+Jake and Emmy's Dad Workshop Thank you! :)
Great Job Great Idea. Thank You for sharing your video
This is really cool! Great job!
genius! thanks Freddie!
Nice idea!
Great tutorial! Well done. Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome! Ingenious. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great job! Thank you!
This is great. Thanks for sharing.
+Konrad Niemandt You're welcome. Glad you like it.
Cool and easy!!
What if I add a heating pad and thermostat? Can I make it into a heat press for fabric sublimation?
You cann also use an old sandwich or panini iron to pres lino's
Just Google for pictures. .But nice diy press!
my compliment! a great idea!
Great one ... Is there anything for phone case printing like this ?
Please share your ideas with us 😊
I'd still use a screw mechanism. You get way more control over pressure and movement speed.
Just wondering about the distribution on weight to the corners. I was thinking of making something like this to emboss a4 paper. Not sure what result I would get with a press like this.
Did you end up making anything? I was wondering g this as well, I dont o how the science behind applying even pressure to a flat surface. However, common sense would suggest less pressure is applied the further away from the point of impact it goes.
Good Video. THANKS! SUBSCRIBED!
Amazing... Thanks for sharing...
awesome, thank you
That's freak in Awesome dude. You Rock ! Tks for sharring Iam gonna make one this weekend tks to you 😊
Ah this looks so cool! I tend to do relief printing with MDF blocks, could this work with those too?
Totally yes
Ever thought about a lever?... That pushes down?... That goes down with a single hand move and goes up the same way moving it up?... While having your left hand free to put the fabric on and off?...
Great tutorial and love the outakes too. B
Thank you!
Woah. Thought this would be doable for the average artist. Definitely need to find a design that doesn't involve special tools or equipment.
Enough pressure in the middle but not on the sides. Tried it. Hmm. Okay my version is not the exact same like your. Have to try it again.
😯🤩😍 Süper fikir çok teşekkürler :)(:
this is great and well done but how about if it's made with 2 Caulking Gun ?
+Kevin Russom I would be worried about keeping both guns level. If you could figure out a way to keep them synchronized then 2 guns should work.
+Kevin Russom On second thought, maybe it's not that important that the 2 guns are perfectly synchronized. I don't know. Someone should try it.
I don't think it would matter that much once both "guns" were contacting the fabric or paper, but it seems to me the advntages would be slight. Just 2X the trouble! Good job BTW!
good job.
Good job
Hi there,
Can you try to build this book binding machine and share with us the plans, measures and the list of materials and bolts and nuts to use... (in cm please when possible... inches give me headache... :)
Thanks
