I try to upgrade anything that is ghetto as soon as I have the money. My worse things right now are:Exposure units gas shocks went out so I have to hold the top up with my head as I lay the screens in and take them out. (static shocked on the head every time)I haven't got a screen rack for my auto screens yet. I keep thinking I am going to build one. So I just use PVC elbows that I had laying around to stack them on top of each other in the dark room. Works fine does take a little more time.

I always use my head to keep it up.
I have built washout booth and a drying/storage cabinet.Bot look pretty nice so I would not hesite to bring a customer in. Anyway, I do everything from my basement, and I do not think that they expect everything to be top line
I use an old 230 screen as a fly swatter. . .funny as hell watching me go at a bee but I got the sumbitch.
Oh, my 2c.I have a DIY pin registration system going, a DIY Newman Roller stretching table (but going to redo ala Northland), and a DIY hood over the dryer to exhaust out heat from inflow and outflow.Everything else is (now) normal screen printing purchased equipment.

Your actions and demeanor on the forum suggests you might be a good ole boy from the south, perhaps a closet Texan?
