It gets a lot of comments and one of these days I will make another one. It was a great project to work on.<br />RonRon Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-6005910464616268642010-01-28T08:11:37.006-08:002010-01-28T08:11:37.006-08:00I absolutely love this.

I love having some freestanding Art rather than just typical wall displays!

My Dad always liked working with wood and I took wood classes in High School. It's just something I do when I don't have the money to buy something, hahaha. I've seen these easels online for over $125 and it only cost me about $30 for the oak used here. I do love working with wood though but I am nowhere near the ability of professional woodworkers...those guys would do circles around me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments John.<BR/>RonRon Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-31985721805726533572008-03-08T03:34:00.000-08:002008-03-08T03:34:00.000-08:00Hi Again Ron, This looks neat.

With a little more bracing, a means to fix it to the floor and maybe some more adjustment holes for pegs, it might also make a pretty good 'studio-easel'. <BR/><BR/>Are you a woodworker too, btw? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-19070666533227379222007-06-26T22:49:00.000-07:002007-06-26T22:49:00.000-07:00Hi Teresa, Yeah, my eyes popped out when I found t...Hi Teresa, Yeah, my eyes popped out when I found these being sold online too....hence, I bought the lumber and cut away. Actually, it was pretty easy to build it. If you have a table saw and a chop saw it really makes it easy but you can still make one of these with basic hand tools. <BR/>I'm in the middle of making a smaller second one from the scraps of the first one and making some canvas-covered masonite panels. Spending more time in the garage than the studio lately...<BR/>RonRon Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-53861944970282819522007-06-22T12:35:00.000-07:002007-06-22T12:35:00.000-07:00Very Cool Ron!
