Making a silkscreen rack.

So this past sunday me and boy Robert G. began building a silkscreen rack so that I can coat the screen with emulsion and let them dry horizontally and in a dark area so they are not exposed to any kind of light. So when they are dry and ready to expose. Also is great storage for them.

Materials need to build a 4 foot high box with wheels (all purchased at Home Depot):


wood studs 4
half stud 8
3 1/2 inch wheels
a latch
silicone
2 8 foot plywood (as cheap as posssible)
6 - 10 nail bridge (picture below list)
lots of small nails (if you have a nail gun even better)
wood glue

"nail bridge"

On the fly with just talks we were able to sketch out what we wanted did some measurements came
up with this pretty good box. Unique to for us to work with. Storing screens and let them get ready for burning my silkscreens and getting ready to print.

Next week should be the finished product and we'll begin to silkscreening next month some stuff and we'll surprise you with what we are going to start with. STAY DIRTY!

Goals for this month.

This month is big for D.V.C. and I. We are definitely hitting a turn for success this coming year. Lets break down some of the goals for this first month of 2010.

January
• Already have table built for printing at home next is building a box for the screens so they have a place to dry. Start printing new D.V.C. shirts by end of the month.
• Start working with Kwasi B. from Rebel Pop Labs on a collaboration effort. Shirts are coming by late Feb. or early March.
• More blogging, collaborations, build, build and build.

There are a few more goals up there but I'm keeping them for myself. I leave this entry with a quote for this month from Albert Einstein, ""Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." STAY DIRTY!
