How to make a Desktop Artist Easel - Woodworking Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- This is a simple Do It Yourself woodworking project made from left over or scrap material. In this video I build a Desktop Artist Easel.
You can make this Easel in a very short time with minimal tools. I used a Battery Hand Drill, but a Manual Hand Drill will work.
This project requires only a small amount of Wood.
Most of the pieces are 2cm X 2cm in thickness.
4 pieces - 36cm long
1 piece - 30cm long
1 piece - around 26 or long enough to make the Shelf
1 piece 3cm x 6mm x 30cm for the Shelf Front
10mm Dowel
The Easel makes a great gift and can be used simply as a Display Stand.

Excellent video and process. I appreciate your sound track with no music. The sound of the building process is the only music that is important while building. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you :) ॐ
Wow what an amazing bench. Any method of craft that doesn't include destroying one's ability to hear and doesn't send material all over the place is something I can really appreciate.
Thank you my friend 😊 I agree, but unfortunately I also need to use machines to dimension the reclaimed material I use. I love working with hand tools on this bench. It is rock solid and a dream to work on 😊 ॐ
Good job. Very neatly presented. Jose from Melbourne Australia
Very good job...thanks for. Sharing
I'm building one of these on my kitchen table as I write this (well, I paused to type, but y'know...). I love the design compared to most of the ones you can find online. One thing that would help those of us who "used to do shop class in high school" is to have a few more dimensions noted out, such as the distance of the shelf from the bottom. Even a snapshot of the finished easel with dimensions super imposed over it would be cool. Thanks for sharing this! (I'm building this one for my wife who is also an artist :) )
Thank you Richard :) I usually build most projects without using a plan or dimensions then I realised after making the video that it would be helpful for others that want to build something similar and included them in the description :) I am happy to know that you found the video useful and I would love to see the finished result. I'm sure your wife will be happy with it and get a lot of use out of it. I have a list of art projects to complete for my wife's working space and when I have the time I will video the process. Blessings ॐ
Obra de arte. Obrigada por compartilhar
Thank you Elena 😊 ॐ
Excellent. Thank you for sharing
Great strength test.
Thank you :) I'm happy that you like it ॐ
Very nice work, perhaps change the stapled string for two round eyes and a small chain. would make a great difference.
Thank you Ryan :) That's a great suggestion. I will try it in the future ॐ
A unique, magnificent piece of tangible art in itself; from a well-seasoned artist to create more visual art to the heart content.
There is no end to your artistic talent Sir!
long may it last!
Thanks
Thank you my friend and blessings to you :) ॐ
Wow thank you! I made this wee easel this morning and I am very happy with how it has turned out! I was really worried as I have to do the drilling without a vice, and I didn't measure the width depth of the hole for the dowels (just eyeballed it... Happily I'm off by 1 mm) I think also the next time I would stain/paint all pieces before assembly except the dowels. I think my next tool might be a drill press. I'm (not so patiently) waiting for the front that is glued to dry. Can't wait to paint it
Thank you 😊 I'm really happy that you found it useful. Painting the pieces sounds great 😊 I hope you get years of enjoyment out of using it 😊 Blessings ॐ
Thank you for the great video. I used your design as inspiration to make one for my wife.
Thank you Rene 😊 That made me smile 😊 ॐ
you make it look so easy, I'm going to give this one a go. well done and thanks for the video
Thank you :) Let me know how you get on :) ॐ
I will but the problem is i'm a master procrastinator but seeing this video has gave me a bit drive, I haven't painted in 3 years, again thanks
Well, this is a great build! And a great gift haha :). Need to make one myself!
Thank you Jolien :) ॐ
Omg I'm so excited to do this, I love it so much. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you Melzier 😊 I will be building larger floor standing easels in the future. I have a really good design ready 😊 Blessings ॐ
Incrível perfeição !!! Perfect job !!! Saudações cordiais de Brasil !!! Regard's from Brazil !!! You Win subscrible !!!
Thank you my friend :) ॐ
Perfect!
Simple but beatiful! Thanks for christmas present idea, I'll make couple of these 👍👏
Thank you 😊 that reminded to do the same too 😊 ॐ
Beautiful! I share my shop space with a friend who also made a desktop easel recently, it was interesting to see your construction which is very different from what he went for. I will show this video to him :)
Thank you Gillis :) I wanted it to be quick and simple. I didn't have much time in the workshop :)
merci c est très intéressant 👍
Thank you my friend 😊 ॐ
I like how this can be done with mostly handwork for people who prefer that or just don't have a fully equipped shop. Since you put the captions on, I have no control over them and the light colored captions blend in with the light colored wood. Darker?
It would be helpful to have the cut list stated at the beginning for those of us who have more experience and can figure it out right away and will be using a fully equipped mind and shop. Thanks!
I am searching for the measurement at 2:31. Can you clue me in?
exelente,muy buen video
Thank you Jose 😊 ॐ
Nobody making easels on youtube has a mitre saw it seems. This guy has to have one
Thank you 😊 ॐ
Very nice.
Thank you Cammie :)
That is a nice tidy job. I made a floor standing easel for my daughters round blackboard. Just an A-frame joined with glue and 2 dowels, and a leg with hinged leg. I didn't do a video of it, but put up a few other ones last week. Pop over if you have a bit of time. Thank you for subscribing.
Pop over where? Link?
What a lovely neat little job! I liked the strength testing at the end there! Thanks for sharing mate, I enjoyed that. I'm off to my workshop right now - I hope yours is warmer than mine...
Thank you Mark :) I'm not mentioning temperatures at the moment. I am more than pleased with the weather at this time 😁 Enjoy your workshop time and I hope to see what you come up with soon :)
The Wood Yogi I've got a little wood but out there now - nice and cosy after an hour or so - but it's hard to get started on these dark mornings. The summer is on the horizon!!

Thank you :)

Great project Thanks! Do you have any simple wooden box projects that are on the easier side but look really nice? We have teens who love to work with wood at our orphanage and we need easier practical projects for them to do. We can use nice little boxes to send gifts to their sponsors and they would feel really good about making them. We don't have access to lots of good lumber here in Mexico its all massivel expensive and very hard and knotty but we do have access to lots of scrap. Also we mostly use hand tools for safety and cost. Any projects you can link me to I'd really appreciuate it. Thanks so much.
Hi my friend 😊, I'm happy that you found this project useful. I hope to begin making projects again in the near future and I will include a hand made wooden box using hand tools to my list of videos. Blessings to you all there 😊 ॐ
Thanks for sharing your craft. My lengths will be different than yours.... any recommendation for the placement of the middle rear leg?
Thank you Michael :) Just make sure that the bottom of the rear leg is at the same level as the front legs when the easel is folded and it should be good :) Blessings ॐ
@@TheWoodYogi , Thanks for the swift reply!!!!
Another great one Yogi! Are you the artist in the family?
Thank you Clint :) I do like to draw and paint, but my wife is the artist :)
Have you ever constructed a drawing bench (art bench/drawing horse.....several names to these things, apparently)?
I haven't constructed one, but I am aware of them as my wife is an artist. They are very simple in construction and I will consider designing one that has good portability and storage when I have more time :) Thank you for the suggestion ॐ
@@TheWoodYogi Awesome. Just subscribed. I'm an artist in training and I dabble in wood working (mada a shaving horse to shape walking sticks into which I carve celtic knotwork). I could manage a basic bench but would need guidance on one with an adjustable drawing surface and perhaps a side drawer for storage.
If you were to post a video on any sort of drawing bench then I would watch with great interest. It would be much appreciated, too. I love youtube!
Nice easel. I also found myself admiring the bench top. What wood is it?
The bench top is Ash :) ॐ
Nice work
A question: Why are the outer pieces outwards? At what angle did u make the dowel holes in outer pieces?
Thank you Yogendra 😊 The tripod design is really stable when holding a frame or painting, but it could be made using straight outer pieces. The angle is determined by how you want the easel to look. The video shows how I worked out the angle at 6:27 by using the centre pieces and measuring out from the top and bottom of the outside pieces. I hope this helps 😊 ॐ
how much did it cost you to make?
now paint a new mona lisa. the existing one is gettng pretty outdated 😁
Or I can sing to the old one and see if I can put a smile back her face 😁
Will this size easel hold a 16x20 for painting?
Hi Melissa :) It would be strong enough to hold that size, but you may need to install an extra rail or support near to the top for the outside of the painting to rest against. Another option is to make the dimensions of the easel bigger. It would not be too difficult to work out :) Please let me know if you make one and if it works for you ॐ
