I have a carpenter friend of mine coming over to build this for me this week. I will let y'all know how it goes. Super excited! Thank you for posting this video.
@@HideandHygge It turned out great! I looked at your Etsy store afterward, and it looks like you have made a few refinements but overall, this will get me through the beginner art course I'm taking and I couldn't be happier. What a wonderful product you sell and I so appreciate that you shared the making of it with us!
Looks good, great job. I'm not a fan of toggle bolts though. A better idea is to find two studs and bridge them with a small board, then use the bridge as an anchor point. Many houses in the USA have studs only 16 inches apart. Too many things can go wrong in a toggle bolt installation, especially if you will be stressing it long term.
Sorry for the late response. I make these in my shop hideandhygge.etsy.com I have small ones that hold up to 10 inches and ones that go all the way up to 72 inches or more depending on how you mount it!
Question about your build: Why did you use dowels? More than half this video was just making holes for them... You had obviously already glued the blocks to the back anyway...
It adds another layer of adhesion. It's unlikely, but if you were to ever drop the easel before installing, the back blocks could sheer off. I really love the look of the dowels on the finished product too. Thanks for the question Chris!
Made two for my studio a little different than this. Only part that sucks is that the adjustable top and bottom portions don't hold the canvas tight enough and they slip forward and fall
My newest design has a strip of rubber on the risers for hardboard panels. The rubber nuts I use on the outside will extend outward to hold the canvases extremely still. My large 78" Easel holds my extra large 6 foot tall and 6' wide canvases. I can be pretty aggressive with my larger brushes and there is very little slack! Amazon has some rubber strips that may help hold your artwork in place!

You are welcome! Let me know how it turns out!

I am thrilled that you are liking it so far! Good luck on your art courses and thank you for your support!
Thank you for showing the process of making your easel :D
Gorgeous painting as well! Cheers friend.

That's awesome if that is what you want to do. You can really install however you'd like, I have never had any issues with the toggle bolts myself!
whats the biggest size canvas you can use on this easel? It looks like a very convenient and useful easel

@@HideandHygge thanks. I'll check them out on your webpage
Brutal....
Very well done! Amazing outcome 🙌
Thank you so much!!
If I know where my studs are do I still need a stud finder?
No.
Amazing job...Looks so good.
Hey 👋 Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Bro, I myself thought about designing a wall easel, but later it became an outdoor one.
That is awesome man! Check out my shop, I have an outdoor one as well that attaches to a tripod! Do you get to use yours often?!
Great looking easel! How much does the 78" weigh?
Thank you! That is our largest size and it roughly 12 pounds.
@@HideandHygge Great, thank you!

Make your own if you want to do it better ✨️
how many artists that may need to build their own easel you think they have all this carpenter's equipment?.... not helpful, not good.
DIY typically involves tools, sounds like you’re unfortunately going to have to buy an easel Karen
How would you do it yourself without tools?!?
This video is epic! Thank you for sharing, can’t wait to give it a shot
