Thanks for watching!!!
Love the easel, love the simplicity and clean line 😍
Thank you! Glad you like it!😃
verry helpful, thank u verry much, Sir❤
Glad it helped, you're welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
I looooove your easels! I have the same shape of the room in my studio and had no idea how was I going to make it work ! thank you!!
Rad! Glad it helped! I'm so happy!!!
Perfect! Thank You. I've been looking for the best idea. This is it! Now if you can make folding oil paint storage units that would be fantastic. Psst, (whispers) don't forget to do a video on it so I can do it here.
Glad this helped! We have oil paints hanging up on a board. We use a binder clip on the end of the tubes and hang them up on screws that we placed on a piece of plywood mounted on the wall. But a folding paint storage would be cool too. ;) Thanks!
Making plans for a studio and your video was spot on. Thank you.
Awwwww! Thank you! Glad it helped! :)
Compare to other YT videos on this subject; This one proves that accomplished Carpenters deserve Bachelor degrees in mechanical engineering.
Thank you! :)
Thanks bro!!!! You’re awesome!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much! We appreciate it! :)
JUST... AWWWWSOME.
Thank you! :)
Thanks I made 7 prior to. The lock washer was the thing I missed out on so that tip will help the most
Glad it helped! I just recently discovered these. www.amazon.com/POWERTEC-71165-Cam-Clamp-18/dp/B07QYRNMD7/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=cam%2Block%2Bwoodworking&qid=1603732091&sr=8-8&th=1
They work very well! I wish I had these when I made the video. :)
Thank you, amazing design
Glad you liked it! 😀
Sooooooo Good! Thank you!
Awwwwwwwwwww thank you so much! :)
Hint use a large rubber washer behind the handles and they won’t work loose over time.
That's a good idea, thank you! :)
Wow around 1:25 I see it- by far the baddest assed wall easel that i can actually build without. Professional woodshop😅 Bravo my man!
Thank you very much! 😀
Hi Beau, loved ur easel altough would love more detail on how it was actually made? As in thickness of the wood used and dimensions ect. 👍🏻
Hi there! I didn't use or make any plans for this. It was essentially a build in place as you go project. Most material is 3/4" thick X 2" wide. Except for the adjustable pieces of the wood that make contact with the paintings. I made those 1-1/4" thick so a 1-1/2" canvas would slightly protrude over that piece so when Kara paints, she doesn't hit a bump when she paints over the edge of the paintings. If you need additional info, just let me know and I can get those to you. :) Thanks!
@@BeauandKaraStudiosHi thanks for the quick reply, thats fantastic! Much appreciated I ordered wood by guess work looking at the video multiple times. I wasnt to far off from the dimensions. Much appreciated now I can make the Mrs. Happy 😊 😅.
Excellent tips! Thx :-)
Glad it was helpful!
I visited your website. You and your wife both make beautiful things.
Thanks for checking our our site! We appreciate it! :) We like making cool things! Also thanks for the compliment!!!
The 1/4” screw. Could that possibly be a T-bolt? I used the same star knobs with the t bolts on a sled I built for my table saw. Fantastic easel build! Best I’ve seen to date.
Yes! It is the same thread. Thanks! :)
Smart stuff. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
5:42 But am already home!
thanks~ really helpful
Glad it helped! :)
Great video.
I gather you are using the lock washer in a rear bolt head/washer/lock washer configuration? It is digging into the wood? That is a bad idea, it will really scar up the wood badly. Then when you go to adjust your easel, it will not want to settle where it should because there are trenches on the back. Plus as you said, it does work all the time, as the washer would bite into the wood, maybe hold the washer in place, but the bolt head will still spin.
Lock washers are normally used on somewhat crappy assemblies that rattle to death. Say the axle of something being held onto a cheap bike, wheel barrow, lawn mower. Well made products use properly fitied fastening. You don't see a lot of lock washers on high end guns or bikes. But the hardware store does not sell fitted parts, you need a machinist for that. And it wouldn't really solve your problem.
When I made my easel, while not exactly the same situation as yours, the handle was in the back. What I did was make a 3D printed washer that held the bold head perfectly, and had a bar in the washer that fitted into the slot. For people who do not have a printer, a little T block with oversized holes that you glue the bolt head into with epoxy, will do the same thing. That way the bolt can't spin, the pressure is even, and the wood will stick nicely to the rest of the wood, yet slide smoothly also.
Yup! Lock washers work for me. Thanks for all the info on how you did it. I appreciate it! :)
Do you have tutorial for making those easel?
I don't, but maybe I should! :) It would make a good video.
@@BeauandKaraStudios please do! My question is, Did you use a router for the space where the star knobs move up and down?
@@OurGentleJourneys Hello! No, I did not use a router. Although you could. I used my big boi table saw with a dado blade. The table saw makes short work of those grooves and with the fence, it is perfectly straight. A router can do that same thing, there is just more setup and the cut would be several passes instead of 1 on the table saw. Thanks for the questions! :)
Yes, please do. ASAP! I’ve been searching and this is closest to what I’d like. Supply list and plans would be great.
Nice easels! What hardwood did you use?
Thank you! I used red oak. The vanilla of wood species. :)
@@BeauandKaraStudios haha, thanks!
I like that design but what does it look like from the back? I see the nuts you used but what do they screw through? Is there another piece of wood in the back? Also how did you cut that line in the wood?
The adjustment handles/knobs have a washer on the back so when you tighten the knob, it pulls the washer tight against the main support. So there is not another board behind it.
The line in the wood was done on the table saw. I dropped the board onto a spinning blade (slowly) and ran it through until I got my desired length of opening. Then I stopped cutting before it cut all the way through. It's called a plunge cut. :)
Hope that answers your questions! Thanks!
Yes! Thank you!!!
@@OurGentleJourneys Plunge cuts on a table saw are swell but scare a lot of people. Other options are:
- Two pieces of wood joined top and bottom, this can just be a blocks, but there are neater ways also.
- A standard router, either on a table, or in a hand held router, with a fence. You can plunge these cuts, freehand or use a drilled hole. Routers are what would normally be used to do this, but there are a number of dangerous ways to set these cuts up, so be sure you know what you are doing. The router table can be even more dangerous.
- Use a router with a 1/16th fly cutter. This is a lot like the table saw method, but the cutter is so small there is less dusts and it is much easier and safer to control. Be sure you set it up so the feed holds the piece against the fence, in the same way a table saw blade holds the piece against the table. It is an upside down world. With the router approach: Your fence is the table, and your table is the fence. Relative to a table saw.
@@HondoTrailside I like the safer approach, the first one you mentioned for now. I'm not super proficient with the router yet and I don't own a table saw. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
Thank, but youre not actually showing how you made them. Great ideas though.
Thank you!
Bro nothing could see
Why thank you.......I think? Yes, thanks. :)
@@BeauandKaraStudios Now can see thanks brother ❤️
