"Too complicated for my abilities" Says the guy who built a fricken astrolabe, scrollsaw, and literally 90% of the stuff you see in these videos, including the workspace. Get in there!! show that press no mercy!
liljohnnotbigjohn don’t sell yourself short, it is a process, take your time, work step by step and plan ahead. YOU can do it, but only if YOU TRY.
Don't forget a f**king lathe!
And Uri wanted pickled Lemons, he made all but the Lemons in his shop....
@@pel6413 I'm waiting for uri to build a space shuttle out if teak and hot glue. It's gonna be great
Hahaha... Thanks! once I get dipper into printmaking I'll see what this press is fully capable of, if It's not holding up in terms of pressure I'll look into making the pizza roller.
torture device looking press
that is the most accurate definition of a screw press
Love both hands twisting to press one hand, hmmmmm. 😁 Thanks for sharing so much.
Dude are you gay
As a former printmaker, I am so impressed by your creation! I never expected the solid wood press to make such a great impression from the Lino to the paper. You made a beautiful press!
Uri stop being so good at stuff you make me feel inadequate.
Uri going "yeahhhhh baby" when the square tipped dowel fits perfectly gives me life
Just a tip! Rub your wooden nails with some olive oil before pressing them in, that way they will be easier to press in, and the oil will make the wood expand so that they will be locked in place😁 beautiful work👌🏻
pro tip:
use linseed oil. it wont go bad and it hardens, so it seals the wood.
Thank you very much for the tip General Jordet, I'll pass it on to my kids and nephews / nieces. These little tricks are rare to know.
@@miko007 Lord have mercy... that is a great tip, miko007
@@miko007 I would have thought wax?
@@pennycandyys you could use wax, but wax does not harden, nor does it soak into the wood.
I love how you keep rolling with the upside down pigeon. Cheers!
It's a part of me now :)
I noticed that too! I love it!
I was wondering about that because there was no comment on it. Forgot it happened in another video.
@@DanManHfx I'm out of the loop here, what happened? lol
@@capuchinosofia4771 well the good Mr Uri did a thing with an upside down pigeon and ran with it.. It couldnt have happened any other way and it is just Perfect.. :)
Never fails to amaze me. So great of an artisan
And entertaining!! Great content.
Next video: "I kinda don't like this one so Im gonna make the one i said was outside my abilities"
After watching most of your videos, I don't believe there is much outside your abilities!
Tbh probably will lmao
It's a progression thing. Lol
Yes please
I don't think there's anything outside of his abilities.
Whenever i make anything im never very acurate and allways misalign holes and edges, whenever i think of perfect acuracy i allways think of your work
Thanks! But, really? Me? Accuracy? I think you're confusing me with Clickspring ¦D
@@urituchmanpigeon clickspring is a CNC and a casting tray. You sir are a true craftsman
I have to agree, Uri Tuchman you are a true craftsman.
@@anilin6353Clickspring has no CNC ... the man is handfiling almost anything and makes his own tools. Although Uri is more of an artist, Clickspring is the true definition of overkill ... deluxe.
@@urituchmanpigeon You have a similar level of skill to Clickspring but you use it very differently.
11:41 *tightens press down on hand using both hands*
Yeah, that's when I knew he was faking it. Clumsy to make that mistake!
Made me actually laugh out loud.
Lmao its subtle jokes like that that make me love uri and his channel
@@folxam that's the joke
@@lereisn well, I didn't catch that as a joke. My bad :)
"Too complicated for my abilities" . . . . get out of town!!
Pretty sure he could even make a tiny one in brass, to print his business cards or something like that...
@@alifetomake Or Postage Stamp sized posters!
@@alifetomake The story goes that the American and German engineers were having a contest. The Americans sent the smallest threaded bolt they could manufacture, which required a microscope to be viewed. A month later, they received the same bolt back in the mail. They were about to celebrate victory, when one of the Americans noticed that the Germans had drilled a hole through the center of it.
Tip for printing an engraving: make sure you give your paper a good long soak, and get a THICK piece of sturdy (preferably real wool) felt. And remember to file the edges of your printing plate otherwise you'll cut through the paper.
Thanks! yeah, I already ordered 6mm felt (man, they're expansive). let me know if you have a recommendation for a good printing paper.
Yeah it's super expensive... Boesner has 'kupferdruckpapier but they only seem to sell per package', if you want to buy loose sheets just go to any art supply store and ask for kupferdruckpapier. Basically the paper needs to have fibers that are long enough so it doesn't fall apart when it's wet, or be so thin that the printing process will tear it apart. Standard A4 paper is exactly what you don't want - thin and fragile with short fibers.
I used to work with print making at a letterpress museum and was maybe one of two or three people under 50 years old in my country who knew the craft. So happy whenever i see other people getting in to traditional print making. Would be awesome to see you carve some wooden type so you can print different words and sentences. I once spent around 2000 hours hand setting and printing a book in 50 copies. Lots of work but i am so happy i have a copy of the book in my book shelve now.
Beautiful work as always! =)
I really love how you make unnecessary old-fashioned awesomely done masterpieces
Johannes Gutenberg's workshop, c. 1450 (colourised)
I don't know why him using two hands to crush his hand was so funny 🤣 amazing video, beautiful piece of work!
I love it, " I want to get into print making" so I'll just make the press! Imagine having all those skills to make anything you want or need.. many can do woodwork well but few can do metal work, woodwork, engraving, autonoma etc to such a high standard. A very talented (and funny) man..
Besides your character, the cool things you build, your talent in art in general, what I find very appealing with your videos is that you really take us with you while creating. You share your doubt, your mistakes, your shortcomings and that makes it more interesting. The humour is cool too :)
You did a great job on that press. I was in the printing industry for 40 years before I retired. I learned printing using similar process, its called letterpress. Google letterpress printing and download info to get a better understanding of how a similar press you built works. A great job.
"outside the realm of my possibilities" since when? Man, I've been watching you for years now. And if there's something I've learned about you it's that nothing is outside your realm of possibilities!
Always nice to see how easy you create something with simple craftsman tools. Everything you built, is an unique part of art.
one day I shall count the number of different camera setups you do in one video. this is film making as well as genius crafting.
"und kind of nice" the german got leaked haha
Or Swiss German ;P
I think originally from Tel Aviv but lives in Berlin.
Ich bin überrascht
He is originally from Israel, but working in Berlin. Israeli accent can often sound a bit German
Yet again, you have amazed me. I am continuously just in awe of your craftsmanship. There are not many who would build the things you do, and even less who would do it without the help of lots of power tools. I've been with your channel since about 50k, and I am always excited to see more of your work.
Just started watching your channel and I have to say, I'm super impressed. With so many cut-and-paste channels out there that turn into annoying product endorsements, your creativity and originality is really refreshing. Keep doing things your way!!
This channel is like my bad day channel to watch cause the goofy little antics and excellent craftsmanship really make my day better. Really love your videos keep them coming!!!
I know this is a two year old video but I want to say how much I appreciate the pacing in this video. Often times people over explain what they are doing when just doing it would suffice.
Uri, you are an accomplished craftsman, designer, and engineer. I laud you on your effort and offer a couple of points to help you in printing.
The purpose of the screw is to deliver force to the center of the platen, and that force radiates out to the edge of the platen. Because the force is in the center, the pressure decreases quickly as it goes out to the edge. The platen you made may deflect and bow upwards at the edges when you tighten the screw. Usually platens are built up to give them dimensional stability.
The screw you have used is quite small in diameter, and that means you won't have much pressing power out at the edge. If you look at a wooden common press similar to pre-19th century, you'll see that the screw diameter is quite large in comparison to your screw. Even though yours is metal, and the thread pitch is different, it is no match for the flat pitch and diameter of the wooden screw.
Good luck with all your builds. I will enjoy looking at your other work as I've just been told about you.
Absolutely incredible work as always. I’m working on restoring a tabletop printing press from the 1960s.
The attention to detail you put into your builds is fantastic. 👍
You truly are one, if not the Best channels to follow. Inspiring, funny and real. You've inspired me to dip my toes into new waters and not worry how it ends. It is the process of making that is the fun part.
Uri I love your sense of humor. And wow, everything you make is just absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing with the world.
I love watching your videos. Having designed and assisted in the making of my own etching press, I couldn't help pause and watch your video. Watching how you operate simple handtools is a great 'watch and learn experience.'
The precision of your work is such a pleasure to experience! Danke, Uri!
Beautiful job; and practical too. Your sense of humor is priceless. Thank you for brightening my day.👌🏾
Clickspring's card press comes to mind
- amazing craftsmanship ✔️
- engraving✔️
- is a press✔️
The amount of precision with just hand tools is fantastic! This looks awesome!!
Uri, it never stops being a tremendous joy to see someone work a craft they are good at. The sillyness is just the cherry on top. Loved the little bit of recursion ar the end ;)
The rolling press is actually pretty easy to make, if you make a small sized one. In school i fabricobbled one with two large springs a rolling pin and a couple of boards and a chair. I screwed one board to the chair, drilled two holes in two legs going perpendicular to the axis of the board (which was overhanging on that axis by half the width of the chair seat. Those two holes held the two springs. On top, i took the rolling pin (i found one that had a steel arm core with a wooden exterior, it also received two holes in the arm holders) put it on top and hooked the springs to it. When i would print, i'd put my knee on the opposite side from where the springs were in the legs, put inked form down, put the paper on top and then the other board on top of that which had a thin, soft foam on it. After that, i'd roll the rolling pin on top using the weight of the springs. Important to note that the center of the print would have to be the center of the rolling pin legs on the chair. Otherwise it gets difficult to pull the springs far out. Once you get enough experience, you start rolling them pretty fast. Eventually i put two nails in the top board to stop the rolling pin from rolling off the board, and i'd lift the board for quick access to the print.
I think this opens up all kinds of possibilities from wood block printing to metal plate etching to movable type. This could keep you busy for months. Your like me. No focus. From one thing on to the next.
loved the two handed tightening after putting YOUR hand under the press. my kind of humor mr uri. Amazing & inspiring work as always! i need to make myself some engraving tools!
This little printing press is beautiful. I love watching your videos and seeing the silly and amazing things that you build.
Uri you are a magician, love the old school way you work, can't wait for the next chapter, much respect.
A brilliant upload! A beautiful final piece. I’ve used billiard balls as counterweights for a small woodblock print press. Love the work! Keep doing what you do!
That was absolutely fantastic, and hilarious.
One of the few maker channels where I watch complete videos without skipping anything.
To complicated for Your abilities? Doubt that very seriously My Friend! You are one of the most talented People I have ever had the joy of watching!
What, no hand-cut, Acme threaded rod?
Well, to be fair it was his first attempt. I suspect if he ever builds another, he'll do just that.
Love the press Uri. I can't wait till you engrave your copper plate. I enjoy watching you engrave, as well as you explain it. Fabulous work and creativity. Thank you
That is a great little printing press you built. Having done multiple types of printmaking myself, I really don’t think you have the pressure/force you need to use that press for intaglio printing. That is a great press for relief prints though.
You should think about getting some printmakers blankets to protect both your press as well as your work.
I would also recommend that you put the inked up relief cut on your press bed and then put your dry printing paper on top, rather then the other way around, like you did at the end of the video.
But all in all that is a amazing hand built printing press you made there. I would be proud to have something like that to use.
I love those square ended pins you made. They are my favorite bit of woodworking I've seen.
The style of this piece reminds me of a bygone era when nearly all the woodwork looked this beautiful and craftsmen took pains to ensure that their creation lasted generations. And you sir, you're one of the rare examples of what can be termed as a real gent.
My first time watching any of your videos. I'm so impressed!
Also: so fun when you say "yeah baby" about your woodworking in 2:53.
See, when I build things, They are like Ikea furniture... They look good, they are simple but... If you take them apart... you wont be able to put them together and they *will* break. At least they get the job done?... When Uri builds things, they look astounding, They are always overcomplicated, and he takes the thing apart with confidence knowing it will go back together and last long enough for the next 300 generations to see it... Keep it up uri...!
I've never pressed this fast on a video 😮 thanks Uri I really needed this
That`s awesome, i love the idea and execution of the build,- i also really like the classic dark stain you put on - I really enjoyed it, keep up the great projects Sir!
The more I watch, the more I love your ridiculously valuable content! You said "discount clickspring" in another video, which was hilarious, yet totally not doing you justice! So glad I found your channel.
Always love watching your videos, such amazing craftsmanship. And always so stylish.
Could you imagine him having a kid? He'd probably make a bunch of the toys himself.
Best father.
Bravo, bravo, bravo. Your craftsmanship never fail to amaze me
Another amazing video its nice seeing someone going back to basics rather then using power tools for everything this is true talent unlike half the people on TH-cam
I am a digital printing press engineer. Seeing someone make a "torture device" press like this makes me smile! Seeing the upside down pigeon makes me happy! And seeing two hands trying to crush one of the very same...made me lose it entirely!
Just picked my jaw up off the floor. Thanks for sharing your marvelous talents with us. By the way, I hope your hand heals in time for your next project. 👉👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👈
Beautiful work!
Thanks my friend. You are just what I needed today! Brilliant as always. I love your humor. Good health to you and your family. 👋👋👋💖💖💖
Watching you work is always a delight.
I had a good laugh over the hand clip....Oh man thank you so much for that. Just a tonic that. Wicked sense of humor, keep up the great work. Love what you're doing.
'Oh! How to make a press. So cool!' clicks link. 'Oh.....'
Haha, love your humour and your wood skills, your shop, and---
It's so satisfying seeing everything fit in place perfectly!
Your editing skills have really improved! Awesome work as always Uri
man, I love this show... such beautiful works of art. Fella's like a master
Love your videos. Always put a smile on the face . Keep them coming.
6/5/2020 USA Grandpa Bill: Uri, you have me spellbound...your range of mastery. Thank you for sharing it.
I'm so glad you include the "challenges" that come up in a project. Makes me feel better. It's not about making mistakes, it's how you handle them. :)
Your skill to do things is literally great, Uri!!!
Simply fabulous, beautiful work as always.
Beautiful work Uri. You're one of the best craftsman I watch.
Looks amazing as always id suggest doing some brass rails on the side so as to keep your columns from binding and marring the surface finish
Please do not put yourself down you can do anything if you put your mind into it and also I love your work.
Really cool. Neat to see your channel grow from start to now, looking forward to seeing where you take this year two three down the road. Keep up the good work and cool projects.
You make it look so easy! It is beautiful! Also love the tiny lino prints!
Incredible!!! more more more
Thanks! I can't wait to try and print bigger drawings.
@@urituchmanpigeon что за краска и каким лаком покрываете ?
You are amazing, I loved the precise way you work.
I've watched this a couple times and the paper hand gets me every time. LOL Great video!
I love this one even better! You are making great Uri! And it is also very well filmed.
Awesome video! I loved your entertaining hand flattening skit! It made me chuckle 😊
LOoOooOooOoOl, the flat hand! Incredible work sir.
Thanks for this great work. I am one of your followers in Saudi Arabia and I work as a carpenter. I like your accuracy in work and I always benefit from it.
That should be great for any relief printing ! Intaglio really needs scraping or rolling pressure to force the blanket and paper down into the incised lines to pick up the ink. Made a lithography press mostly of wood.
Loved watching you and inspired to try to make one, a little less elaborate, for my craft projects. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! I’ve gotten into wood cuts and lino cut prints, and I’ve been thinking about something like this, too!!
I have enjoyed your video. You have done a remarkable job on this project by using primarily hand tools. A GOOD job!
Really good work and great craftsmanship.
Lovely, my father is a professional wood engraving artist and I really enjoyed this
Keep up the great work Uri, I really like the things you make, so detailed and amazing
I enjoy your craftmanship and simplicity of the videos
Its nice you are able to compact all your vids into 1 video. instead of a 20 part series
Workman. - Hmm, i cant tell if this building is structurally sound /:
Uri. - *Slaps building aggressively*
Workman. - stares in awe.
Uri. - It is, how you say? strong? *leaves in homemade clockwork car*
The clockwork car is my next sewing machine mod.
@@urituchmanpigeon lol, i can't wait!
Your videos always make my day-Thanks!
your brass work is always super nice. Good job on the whole thing !
