    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.

    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 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.

    That’s a lot of work. I received a ton of screen printing ink and was checking out how to use it but I don’t think it’s for me lol I have 2 cricut machines, so much easier. Tell me please, what do you find about this screen printing process that makes it stand out from using vinyl from a machine. Maybe I’m missing something.

    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 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?

    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?
