Hi all this my first post hope it's in the right place,
Well I’m just getting into screen printing, I do a bit at Uni but I’m trying to set up a little studio at home I have some screens and will be getting some squeegees soon. I just need some help in making a clamp (like the one in the pictures) which I well attach to my table and then the screen:
I’m ok at D.I.Y so I should be able to put it together but I’m not sure what the parts are called like the bolts, and where I could purchase them from, and any suggestions on what I could use to make the bracket type things.
The version I plan to make will be longer and have to 4 screws 2 top and to bottom
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks Ant

clamp hinge
Actually me ol darlin your picture is the answer! If it were me, I would not buy two regular screw down clamp hinges from Tubelite or whatever distributors are there. I would buy four and hold them hinge to hinge, with a little aluminum epoxy between them and screw them together.
