As a woodworker for many years with experience in a mill with many fancy machines I'd like to praise you for your craftsmanship with a few simple tools, and your ingenuity in solving several significant problems with the store-bought easel which I looked at today at Hobby Lobby. You did a fine job. This review is three years later (October, 2018) but your work still stands (pardon the pun).
Couldn't agree more. Looking at it I keep thinking about t-tracks, dados, rabbets, welded rails, etc. He did a great job with minimal resources.
@meticularius and Chris, great feedback guys
do you still have the pdf? it seems his website has went down
@@indiGLOfashooo I don't think I got the pdf. I don't remember now. James Brown 6 years ago below did get the pdf. You might ask him
Built your easel and changed it up a little by using split 1" PVC pipe as the guides on the conduit rails. The plastic slides smooth and it clamps great. I just construction adhesives the split pipe parts in line with the rails and clamped the front and back blocks on to the rails while the adhesive cured. I also glued some 3/8" plywood next to the guides to stabilize them more. Great project. Thanks for the plans.
Loved this project. Thanks for the plans. By the way I used chromium plated bath rails for the glide mechanism. Works like a dream.
I built the easel pretty much exactly per the plans. I did extend the length of of the conduit to allow for larger canvases. THANK YOU for making these plans available for free. My daughter loved the easel, and I enjoyed making the sawdust.
lovely. :) could you please share a picture.
good day!

Thanks. And I can't thank you enough. It works so well and it saves me 200 bucks. Keep it up.
I love the simplicity of your design! very clever! I'm stealing a few ideas to make my own.
thanks for sharing!
real dope easle, great build, thanks for showing
I bought a real nice oak one for almost 300$. But I love mine. Your man made one is real nice, I think your too hard on yourself. You did AWSOME!
Wow this is an amazing easel! You're pretty awesome for putting the plans up free. My funds are limited (why I'm building my own lol) so this is a great help to me :D
fabulous! thank you, excellent demo and easel..very smart
I really like this construction. Very doable as a DIY project. Many thanks for the plans.
If you have the pdf plans, can you send to me? The author's website is no longer in operation?
Great Video and Easel! I was inspired by your video and I made an easel! My design used 2x4's, caster wheels, and carraige bolts without the conduit; thanks so much for the DIY tips! Your conduit adjustable system is very nice!
thank´s , great idea, great balance(does not tremble) and thank´s for the plans
Thank you for sharing. I realise that you made this video almost a decade ago, but it was very informative and useful to me.
Thanks for sharing your friend work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great / sturdy design Greg ! I'm in the process of coming up with an entire Studio design that hides away like a Murphy bed. I live in a 1 Bdrm Apartment !
That is awesome. Great work mate.
Hi Greg, just found your videos. The easel looks great but I tried your website and it doesn't seem available now. Is it possible to still get a copy of the plans? Cheers
nice easel I need one for doing my ari brush graphics and this seems to be the one for me thanks
Hello. Nice ideas you have. I believe that your camera(phone?) has a possibility to fix the focus easily by just tapping on the part which you want to focus and after that it's locked. It is easy to refocus by tapping again the area.
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!
Very cool man I like what you've done there I would suggest though looking at it if you used a trailer hitch locking mechanism it would compress and it would be almost automatic where you could lift it with your finger and slide it up and down and then just compress it down and it would lock in a place eliminating the whole twisting of the wingnut or whatever but yeah great job!
I see the website is down, any chance I could get the pdf anywhere else?
I like the way you designed the clamping mechanism. Why are the pipes close to the centerline. I would think you might want them close to the supports. Also could you use the supports for the clamping mechanism to avoid the cost of buying these pipes. I guess you could use pvc pipe instead of metal pipe. Just easier to cut. Great design.
Great work👍
Downloaded plans for future build.
Thanks
@Magalhãez look up EASEL-fin
Do you still have the plans?
@@rojasarl000 Easel-fin
I have fabricated one in two days. Very good suggestion. Made it for about 90 $ canadian. I have made mine a little larger at the base for more stability, also I did not add the springs. Mine did SlideBox very easy without them.Thank you very much for the idea.
Slide instead of slidebox, sorry

You can take a router and "connect" all 3 tilting holes making a slot. That will allow you to tilt it easily in seconds.
Just wanted to say thanks for this! I built one of these for my son and he likes it a lot. The only thing I changed was to add drink holders.
For inspiration in a can? XD

Regarding issues with the clamping mechanism for the tray/canvas platform: I would sand the conduit with a fine sandpaper, clean off the dust, and apply a coat of paste (floor) wax to the pipes. Also wax the surfaces of the clamps which slide on the pipes.
Wnt to the web site. Lot of good stuff but the Build an Easel" only brought me back here!!!
I might be late, but here it is: static1.squarespace.com/static/51fd8bc5e4b024582fd912c6/t/54c01a73e4b0b84e91d36f7a/1421875827801/EASEL-fin.pdf
There's a button just above the video. Hope it helps!
Have you ever made a drawing bench? I’d like to build one for myself and you you do nice work
Thank you!!!!
The easel looks great is it possible to get the PDF plan’s?I haven’t been able to access your website. Thank you so much
I love you plans for building the easel but I can not find the updated version part 2 for the glide system can you please tell me how i can find part 2 thanks for sharing i thing its great
You need to put a channel and a t track to make it easier to move. Look at Rockler t-track to get ideas. there are lots of ways to do this and you can use a drill and jig saw if you do not have a tablesaw and dado blade or router.
Wax the conduit so the wood doesn't grab the galvanized surface of your conduit. Will be much smoother to slide your canvas shelf up and down.
I cannot find your plans and would really like to try this build
It seems that the site no longer works - I'd like the plans. Is there any other place to get them? I got bounced to a bad site.
Your domain is gone. How can I get the PDFs, please?
you should never tilt it, cause u get light glare, dust deposits, always use at 90 degree vertically. (tilting is for transporting) I have the WInsor easel also, mine doesn't wobble at all(might have to do with the center screw tightness). Also i dunno what your talking about in regards to it's height. I'm 187cm and if i pull it at almost tallest position, painting large formats, it's a dream to work on, even for me. I could see the problem in smaller painting formats, cause then it's chest position, but this is for Large formats. Even i have no way of setting it at max, cause my room isn't that tall. 270cm.
update: your easel is different, but looks very similar to my Winsor&Newton shannon model. The wobbliness also may come from those black knob tightening screws at the very bottom where it attaches to the base. Mine has a metal U bracket sitting on the wood base.
I am not able to get the link to the plans to work, are they still available? thanks
candle wax will improve the slides
Antique Draftin Table?
You can get Johnson's Paste Wax for both the rails and the wood, and that will both protect the wood, and make it so the shelf slides effortlessly. I would add a metal component to the backside of the calming mechanism so that a metal bar bites down on the rails. Another good feature to add is a reverse clamping action, imagine the canvas being held from the inside of the canvas frame, pulling up on top (from the inside of the frame) and pulling downward on the bottom half, so that the frame is not being compressed by the easel, and loosening your canvas. Look for a design illustrating this on DrawMixPaint's channel.

I am trying to find the pdf plans to build your ease....please advise
has anyone who's built this added castors?
Strange things happen.
I was building myself an easel and was about 70% complete when i saw this video. Mine is very similar. Except for the tilt. I dont know how to attach pics
Can you make a wall easel pdf
How do you get to the pdf?
Are these plans still up?
Can you send me the plans as your website is down.
Wow, Here in Canada It's sooo expensive, I paid $25 for each tube, so $50 for them, $170 for the wood and $40 in hardware so $260 total;(
brent bauman Ouch! I'm planning to build this for a friend, and I wondered about the cost. I'm in Calgary and as far as I can tell, Home Depot and Lowes are going to be crazy expensive for wood. Where did you buy yours?
brent bauman I paid 15$ each tube in Montreal.
The website no longer offers the plans.
I know I'm a couple of years late, but if there is someone out there that still have the pdf available, could you please message me to send me a copy? At this point I've looked everywhere but no luck😔
use soap to wax conduit
Actually , Bee's wax would work better !
I made it myself thanks to woodprix website.
its not full oak its a mix of wood that's why it is warped & wobbles lol
😅
