Art Easel part 2 - updated modification
This is an update to my original art easel, it adds a much easier "glide" system. Now you can adjust the easel up or down with one hand.

"Hylas and the Nymphs" re-imagined. I took J.W. Waterhouse's original and closely based my painting on it.

Looked in the Way Back Machine, still couldn't find any pdf's. I sure wish there was a way to get them.
😅
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.
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 you for sharing. I realise that you made this video almost a decade ago, but it was very informative and useful to me.
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😔
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
The website no longer offers the plans.
I love the simplicity of your design! very clever! I'm stealing a few ideas to make my own. thanks for sharing!
I am trying to find the pdf plans to build your ease....please advise
Reimagined these days you have to be inclusive and have transgender woman as nymphs. Its the new trend to be gay and bisexual.
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
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.
THIS IS ZUEZ. REMINDS ME OF HOME. ONLY WITH MY FOUR WIVES.
Any chance the plans are still available somewhere else? That website doesn't seem to exist any longer.
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!
I am not able to get the link to the plans to work, are they still available? thanks
Are these plans still up?
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
Can you send me the plans as your website is down.
That is awesome. Great work mate.
I see the website is down, any chance I could get the pdf anywhere else?
I cannot find your plans and would really like to try this build
Your domain is gone. How can I get the PDFs, please?
Pdf files would be amazing in 2021 also :D
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.
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.
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!
Great work👍 Downloaded plans for future build. Thanks
@Magalhãez look up EASEL-fin
Do you still have the plans?
@@rojasarl000 Easel-fin
hello and thanks but i cant download can u upload other upload sites?
It's old website, I want to download pdf too, please!
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. ua-cam.com/video/1DI29vAmDj4/v-deo.html
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.
How do you get to the pdf?
Thank you!!!!
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
@@rejeanlegault4308 If you have the pdf plans, can you send to me? The author's website is no longer in operation?
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

You can take a router and "connect" all 3 tilting holes making a slot. That will allow you to tilt it easily in seconds.
thank´s , great idea, great balance(does not tremble) and thank´s for the plans
Thanks for sharing your design (as well as the updated design to move the pipes wider apart). I am thrilled with the easel I built based on your design. A couple of things I did differently and am really happy with: 1. Created wood slides similar to the top/bottom plates by drilling holes through. These were attached to the back of the upper and lower shelf brackets. They keep them square and slide well (I rubbed some was inside them). 2. Added pegs to the outside of the upper bracket to help support the use of a mahl stick. 3. Used a piece of 1/2" plywood between the two wood slides in #1 above for the friction-hold of the shelf brackets to the pipes. When tightened against the pipes it will flex a bit, creating a natural spring outward when loosening it to move a shelf. 4. Found finished acacia wood at my lumber store for LESS than raw poplar. It is harder (good) and way prettier than poplar. Pic of my work: i.imgur.com/wnTBI39.jpg
Great additions - I'd love to see a picture from the back

@@jrardis Sorry I don't have them.
Thanks for the design and upgrade ideas. I'm going to go with the wider conduit but probably not the 2 PVC unions. Instead I'm going to create 6 pieces of identical top and bottom plates. 2 will be used as the top and bottom plates. 2 will be used as the top and bottom of the lower shelf (final 2 for the top and bottom of the upper shelf). I think this will keep the shelves square (I have a drill press so I'll be able to make sure all the holes are exactly the same width apart). The thinner piece of wood behind the pipes that is part of the clamping mechanism can fit between these 2 plates to keep it square (looks like yours has a little play). Mine won't have the really smooth sliding action but I don't think it will be problematic to need 2 hands to move it. Again thanks for sharing your design.
So.... here is my creation: i.imgur.com/wnTBI39.jpg Thanks again for sharing your designs.
real dope easle, great build, thanks for showing
I really like this construction. Very doable as a DIY project. Many thanks for the plans.

its not full oak its a mix of wood that's why it is warped & wobbles lol
Have you ever made a drawing bench? I’d like to build one for myself and you you do nice work
candle wax will improve the slides
Thanks. And I can't thank you enough. It works so well and it saves me 200 bucks. Keep it up.
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
Excellent to see that woodprix has new plans what helped me save some money and energy to build it.
I have made this easel and it turned out great!!
on the parts list at beginning I think you mean 1 3/4 lnch PVC union, not 3/4 inch. Like your idea and going to attempt to build it. may make a couple modifications to your plans. Thanks for the tutorial and instructions. good job.
