I print things like custom cups and mugs, mouse pads, and more. I needed a higher standing, sturdier work bench and desided to design and build one last weekend. Once built, it wouldnt fit thru the doors, so we pre-cut it all in the garage, then assembled it inside. It went together well.... but I had to do something to the top to make it durable and good looking. So, I dug out a few of my old calendars, cut them out, and used them for the top. I just finished the last coat of polyuerethane tonite. Enjoy!

Last pic.... a close-up for those interested :)

Nice looking "stuff" there.  I see the fan there as well--It get's pretty damn hot here as well--Thanks B.

well, the fan is to help cure the poly..... wife was bitching about the smell of the poly, while she cooked onions... blech

As for the printing stuff, I got a thank you note from Gov Brewer today for the mouse pad I made her, with this picture included:

That's a cute looking governor you have out there rick!
I can't say the same for here in NY though...LOL
Our last one went out with whores and the present one is blind as a bat. :97-

well no... look at this pic of the mouse pad with her and Palin on it.... you will definitly see a difference with the closer shot. Not ugly, just showing her age.

Also, NY does have its issues.... with leadership. When will folks take to the streets? I am waiting.

Hey Rick

Great workbench!

thanks.. might use the same design for my slot machine.... once I find room for it.

I made a few cups today, just to show ya there are no limits to what I print :)

Played with some new items today... new to me anyhow. These are those rubber-type can covers, the ones that slip on over the can.

Hey rick

Pretty good work.

What kind of printer are you using for your sublimation?

I've done some screenprint transfers in the past but never entered the sublimation arena.

I use an old school epson 1520 and corel 13 for most of my artwork.

Keep up the good work, it's always nice to see different designs and ideas.

Awesome work Rick.  Now let's see you do some reel sstrips, LOL

I have a C88+ printer for now..... does ok for me.

Still looking into the reel strips.... no luck yet.

I have the Epson R1900 roll printer but it's painstaking laying out
the symbols correctly so they end up on the center of the payline.
I haven't succeeded yet but I haven't tried to print anything with it yet.
The costs of the roll photo paper is so high that I want to get it right before I try to print anything.
My goal is to make copies of my strips so I'll have fresh ones after the symbols fade away.
My local print shop doesn't have the capabilities to scan and copy long items.

I do sublimation printing, and need to find the right thickness material coated for my kind of printing..... thats the problem, plus if its too thin, the heat will destroy it. Still looking tho.

nice work :)

This was placed on Rick's last post on the bottom.
