Also, is 160 mesh count decent for all around printing?
Building your own frames
I am a newbie to screen printing and I am researching as much as I can to DYI anything to save money. After watching a tutorial I am in the proccess of building my own screens. I purchased 160 mesh screen and some 2x2 pieces of wood. My goal is to have the sides 20 in and the top/bottom 16 in (so a 12in to achieve 16 total).
Is this something that can work out? What should I know when doing this?

Make sure you have square corners and kiln dried wood. Cut mortises and glue the corners together. Sand paper the gluing surface with a 150 sandpaper. After you glue the mesh use staple tape to help hold. Although I am not sure why you would want to build one. This is how they use to do it before we started to mass produce them.
