Project - Limited Edition Tees

So I'm not the type of person that likes to wait around for say, a prototype t-shirt. I can create a photo realistic mock-up in photoshop but sometimes that's not good enough. Plus, I like to build things. After a night of research on homemade screen printing presses I was happy with the design I had sketched out. The next morning I hit Home Depot with my parts list in hand. This was my plan: Build a one color screen printing press so that I could experiment with new designs and create the Limited Edition line. The Limited Edition line of t-shirts would be non-production design with only 50 being printed by me personally. By the way, I had zero screen printing experience. At the end of the night, this is what I had built. A few days later my screens arrived and I put a coat of stain on the press. Ok, now I need to learn how to screen print.
