Step 1: Make a wood frame

I used a mitre saw to make a frame with mitred joints then just glue two blocks

at ether side and put 4 screws in you could also use a handsaw and just

overlap the corners or you could even use a picture frame.

Step 2: Adding the mesh

Some mesh is required to cover the frame I used fine plant netting but I wouldrecommend using tulle and stretching it ,this stuff does not stretch and just

tears but it worked.

Step 3: Prepare everything

fill up a container with water large and deep enough to submerge your frame.

you will need a blender I did not have one but I bought a mini food processor 

for cheap then as it was not made for liquids I just wrapped duck tape around

the lid to stop it from spilling everywhere.

Step 4: Blending everything up

Start by tipping you chopped up paper and sawdust into the blender then addwater and blend it up !

Step 5: Pouring it out

lay the frame on the water it should float then pour the mixture out over the

mesh.

Then making sure it is evenly covered lift the frame out

and carefully press out all of the water with a towel and a few fine clothes

Then leave it to dry in a warm room.

Making paper is something I have given a bit of thought to trying outsomeday. I'm glad to see you've went ahead and did it yourself. I've boughta bit of paper at art stores. Some of the more exotic varieties of paper canhave pretty hefty price tags attached to them in my experience. This makesdoing it myself a more attractive alternative. Drawing, and painting on thickstock is nice though.

Watching your video I noticed that you did not cook your pulp. I've seenother paper making processes where the pulp is cooked in a vat of simmering water for a while. I think that further breaks down the wood.Then the slurry is dumped onto the surface of water and the screen ispassed under the slick, and raised up.

I saw some folks making paper umbrellas on how it's made and they weremaking their own paper. They were pretty good at the whole makinghandmade paper thing. making paper is towards the end.
