is a brilliant idea , simple and functional . Thanks i go to build one
This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. My husband had a very similar idea in mind but this looks easier. I can’t wait to make mine!
How did you breath while you were making your easel out in space? Did you have a space suit?
This is great…and it does not take tons of space in what many of us have to work in small spaces…or live in small spaces.
this was great except i don’t want to fucking screw an easel to my wall

I have normaly paint on heavy plywood panels and I have not had any problems. The onlything I did notice is after sitting a long time the tension loosens just a tad so the painting can fall forward. A small lip on the top bar fixes this as it keeps it from every being able to fall to far forward.
There is nothing on the back side of the bars that hold the canvas on mine so there is nothing holding them level. But a block on each side of the rail on the back would fix that. And nope nothing else to make the washer and wingnut to work. The only metal pieces are the bolt, washer and wingnut.
Sorry about the long intro every one I got carried away.
And glad every one liked the easel and found it handy.
Strong and simple, great easel.
Clever!…simple and functional. I wonder how it looks from the backside of the two adjustable wooden bars that are suppose to hold canvas. Also it’s got to have some more piece to make canvas straight horizontally. Is there any counter part piece for the washer and wingnut to work? I can’t see the back from the video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! Do you know if this easel can hold a canvas that weighs 12 lbs? Or even up to 16 lbs? Thank you!!
Like everything accept the 40 sec. intro….***
Like everything accept the 40 minute intro….that was looooong
That beginning squence is too long, but this idea is decent. Too many people try to make easels without a clamping mechanism on the top! You actually know what you’re doing here and I’m gladdened to see it
Thanks every one glad you like it.
Really easy to make and solid.
Good job.
You’ve made it look very simple. thanks
so simple, thanks.
cool easel
