Homemade easel (large)

[Hausamann]

In 2004 I searched the Internet for plans, but was not too happy with any of them. So I picked what I liked from them and came up with my own.
It is mainly made from cheap building frame timber. Has ajustable height and lean. Moves around on wheels and they can be locked into place.

Beautiful piece!

Very nice.
I've wanted to build my own but my shops been in an unusable state for years.
Is it just for adgestments or does that bottom of that easel fold up?

That is wonderful and certainly should accommodate any size painting you could fit into the room.

That is wonderful and impressive! So cool! I have been looking for the perfect easel for ages.

Nice piece of furniture!

That's superb, I would love something like this! I am also envious of all that lovely space you have.

Thanks.
Yes, it can be folded up and the whole easel taken out the front door.

Thanks.
I always make sure that whatever I create, in a large size, that it can fit through the exit door.
For smaller work, such as on paper, I have a drawing board that takes the place of a framed canvas. I used this when I do fast charcoal sketches.

Yes it really is a piece of furniture. I live alone and have nobody to please, so I can turn my lounge room into a studio.

Thank you @ntl, @16ga, @snoball, @Artyczar, @JStarr, and @Triduana for your likes.

I found a photo of my first easel. It too was placed in my lounge room.
I relocated after loosing everything in a fire. The first things I bought can be seen in the photo.

good work, looks great. Is there a way to support smaller paintings on it

I'll see if I have a photo of this already...
Here is a shot showing part of my drawing board which I clamp onto the large easel
