Easel

Looks like a lot of time and effort went into the design and building.
Very nice and functional.
Well done.

That is one well designed, beautifully crafted easel!
Well done!

Welcome to Lumberjocks and you did a very good job designing that easel, but since you state that you
would be getting your artists oils, watercolor and charcoal on it, you must have had a little experience
with easels that did not quite do the job you wanted them to do. I can understand the feeling of
not wanting to break in the easel and hardly being able to wait to find out if it was going to work as
good as you hoped. Thank you for sharing this and I hope you will share even more of your projects with
us. Just in passing, of course I think my great granddaughters are cuter than your granddaughters, but
that could be personal prejudice.

Your design criteria is quite a list. Unbelievably well executed. Welcome to LJ and thanks for such a significant contribution. I’m looking forward to more of your stuff. It’s so nice looking, you can use it to display the final painting. Will you be selling your plans?

Impressive and really seems to have lived up to all the criteria.
Would love to have a easel like that.
Time well spend.

I think that is the most versatile easel I have seen! I hope you don’t mind but I am going to use yours as a model for making one for my wife. Any suggestions? Things you wish you might have done differently?

Thank you everyone for the kind comments.
By prototyping in pine I worked out pretty much everything. I could have made the bottom shelf more of a box (two shelves). It would be easy enough for me to add that feature in the future.
I will see if I can round up my basic dimensions and sketches in the next few days and post them.

Haven’t seen a way to post files other than pictures.
I’m wanting to sell my plans in the future but until then I’m willing to share with fellow Jocks.
I love this site, it is so inspiring. I want to give back whenever I can.

Drop me a line with your email address for copies of the plans.
I haven’t had any feedback on the accuracy, comments are welcome. Besides, we all have opportunities to redesign as we go.
