Wow, I am very impressed with this build.
Where did you get the plans to build it, did you design them or find them?
The lazy susan, was that from B&Q also?
How has it performed, what....3 months on?

Thanks ;-)
I used plans for this. Search google for diy screen printing plans. First one should pop up with very profesional plans. They free download and nicely explained. I never done diy in my life and i did.menaged to finish this project. I am.very happy with results. I will show some photo tomorrow.

Lazy susan? I actualy removed it ans replaced it with more solid one. You can get it in boat shop. Is call chair sweevel. Crap spelling i know but cant remember how spell that corrextly lol.

Also springs are replaced for ones with more tension.
