Use the correct washer and hex nuts and four screws for greater stability. Step EightĪttach the platen arm to the table using the two carriage bolts. You can also drill another set of holes 2 1/4” further in as this will give you greater flexibility when you are printing. Mark the holes, remove the platen, and drill half-inch holes through the platen arm. The curved edge of the platen is supposed to be three inches from the end of the platen arm. This is the time where you decide where to drill holes in the platen arm. Step Sevenīy the time you get to this step, you should be done with the platen. This will keep you from having problems with wood splitting. It is also best to pre-drill the holes before attaching the parts W. The holes need to be the same distance as the holes going the other way. So that it is snug use a two-by-four to help you space the wood. Take the other four and draw a line 2 3/8” in from the end. These will be half-inch holes directly in the middle of the part. Now it is time to put holes in the largest side of four of the part W. This platen is only for adult shirts you will need different size platens for smaller shirts. Make sure it is glued in the exact middle. The piece F is glued into the middle of part A, the table. It is the platen where shirts are pulled to be printed. The above diagram shows you the different pieces and how they go together. You have completed the table now it is time for the platen and arm. The following diagram will show you how your press should be put together.īuilding the Platen and the Arm Step Five It should be very sturdy or you will need to redo it.

You can make it taller or shorter depending upon what your needs are. P is the support that keeps the press stable. Keeping part P flush to the outside screw part P to part N. Step Threeīy now you should have a standing table but until you attach parts P to part N it will be very unsteady. Then screw A into both L and M from the top. When you feel like it is correct then you can screw L into M. Parts L and M will form a square around part A. With the clamps attach place A and M on top of the two legs from step one. Using only glue and clamps attach the thin sides of M to the thin side of part A. In the places where L extension passes, the legs take a piece of 2”X4” to check the bits which are extended are equal to the smaller width of the wood. Take time to make sure your angles square. This diagram will show you how many pieces you need to cut. This will help save you time and frustration. Cut all of your wood at one time and mark them with the correct letter.
