How To Build A Floor Easel / DIY Art Easel / Easy Woodworking Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- I decided to mash up two of my passions: Art and Woodworking by building a wooden floor easel. This is a really easy woodworking project that can be done in a day. As an artist, I seem to always be in the need for an easel with certain specifications in mind. This large floor easel can be made to whatever specifications I want or need. I used threaded inserts and star head bolts on the joints of the easel soo every part is adjustable and highly functional. Even though I used a lot of scrap wood for this project, the material cost if you have to buy everything outright is still extremely low, compared to the cost of the large scale floor easels available in the stores. I hope this video inspires you and gives you some good groundwork to make your own easel. Thanks for watching!!

Great Video and Easel! I was inspired by your video and I made an easel! No more crappy Dick Blick easel in my studio anymore! Mine design used 2x4's, caster wheels, and carraige bolts; thanks so much for the DIY tips!
That's awesome!! Have fun using it!
I’ve used the center pressure fit for years. But a vast improvement is made by doing it with two middle posts instead of a single one.
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been wanting a stand up easel but can’t afford one. I have all the wood and tools to make it though. This helps me so much 🤗
That is awesome! So glad I could help!!
I loved this.
Thank you! I'm currently learning a CAD program to make some plans for it.
Looks perfect , very functional and practical. Worth the work put in. Good work. Thank you. Jose from Melbourne Australia
Thank you and thank you for watching!
This is fantastic.
Thanks! Working on the plans for it, hopefully done soon
Looks awesome. Just what I need. Can't wait to build my own.
Awesome! Hope it was clear enough. I am currently working on a set of plans for it.
So smart!
Haha, thanks
This is brilliant
Thanks for watching!
This is great! Thank you for creating this video.
So glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

Great video is very helpful, I want to create my easel and this gives me a great idea, thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I love it!!!!
Thank you!
Very well done
Thank you and thanks for watching!!!
AWESOME BUILD MAN!
Thanks!
I really like how simple your design is and can easily be upgraded to add more features to it. This is a fantastic base design for an easel. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for pointing that out! Yes, so many parts can be tweaked or ungraded to suite specific needs.
You make some very nice pieces and are inspirational. I found you while studying wind chimes and your video helped.
Awesome!! that's so good to hear! As fun as the videos are to make, we want them to be helpful too.
This easel is exactly what I have been looking for. Very good instructions and easy to follow step by step video. Thank you for the time of putting it together. The easel looks much better than most on the market and stronger too.
Thank you! Yeah, I did a lot of shopping myself before deciding to make one. So far I love it, super light weight and easy to adjust.
Good Job !
Thank you!
Thanks 👍🏾
Amazing!!!!! A+++
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video! What are the sizes of the inserts and the knobs that you used?
I’ll pull out the kit and get those numbers to you
This is really good. Only thing I would change is the shelves. I would turn them 180 degrees to make space for the finger screws at the front. Or use a wider piece of wood and place the shelve on the middle, so there is still space for the finger screw at the front. Then I would make two piece of wood with the thread inserts to put at the back, and then the finger screw at the front. That way it is easy to change the height while painting, without having to go to the back, if you want to change the ergonomics when you move around the canvas. This is especially important on larger canvases.
Totally agree! Great idea, I’m working on the plans, I will totally make that modification, thanks!
And thanks for watching!
At the 3:02 mark, you didn’t specify what the length of those leg supports are? If the legs are 36 inches, how long are the supports you cut the dowel rests into?
Good catch! They are 23 inches long, but they were already cut leftover pieces from another project, so I didn't cut them specifically for the easel. However, the easel balances well, so I would say 23-24 inches is a good length to use.
Would love a download for this. Is this going to happen?
I’m currently out of the country, but yes, I’ve started the plans and will finish when I get back.
@@boydstongrove Awesome. When are you getting back?
@@Zozqui we return second week of Sept.
@@boydstongrove Did the plans ever get done?
@@Zozqui sorry, my “real” job has been getting in the way. It’s on my to do list!
Are the plans made yet? I would love a list of materials, looking to make this for my fiance for her birthday to kick off her first art studio.
I have not made plans yet, thank you for reminding me. I'll see if I can atleast get you some measurements.
@@boydstongrovei would love the measurements as well
Where could I find the plans for this easel?
Unfortunately, I am still working on them (little slow with making plans). As soon as they're done, I'll post it on the community page.
Is there a plan I can download?
Not yet, but I am working on some.
@boydstongrove I was gonna ask this same question 😢
you neglected to give any dimensions, length, width of easel pieces. Over all dimensions would be helpful.
I'm actually working on a set of plans for this one and the table top version
He actually goes over the sizes he used in the 1st 30seconds of the video. 6ft pieces with left over 2ft pieces. Overall height is 6ft, guessing about 2ft wide
@@boydstongrove have the plans been made yet? if so where could I find them. this canvas looks so good would love to try and build this!
He gives you the width and lengths of the main pieces. You just need to use basic math to attach the base and whatnot.
I made my easel by watching every single second of the video repeatedly. Thanks for sharing!

Your easel looks great, how is it holding up 11 months later?
For some reason your comment and pic just showed up. That looks AMAZING! hope it's still working out for you.
