I have this easel and absolutely love it. It comes extremely well packed with all the tools needed to assemble. It’s so easy to use, and the small footprint is just great. It is sturdy and well made, and is definitely worth the cost.
I have had an easel like this for about 3 years is the best best easel. I have no other kind of easel. I recommend all Mark’s products for the quality. Also his oils are superb. ❤
I absolutely love mine and I’ve owned at least a dozen other easels. The way it holds the canvas so solid is truly remarkable. The range of motion on the vertical axis is all I need. I often remove my art in progress while it is drying just to appreciate the easel itself in the studio. I won’t need another easel ever. Thanks
I would love to have one of these! I use a magnet board for small panels. I embedded strong magnets in a board, then I tape a piece of metal to the back of panel. That way I can paint even the edges of a panel.
@@europeanroyalty4778 no, just packing tape. If the magnets are strong, it will hold through even heavy duct tape.. Think edge pro easel's magnets.. I want the tape to come off easy when done.
I have no doubt that you are a genius; master painter, engineer, incomparable teacher, adept in sales and marketing, and with all that humble and ethical. You live in one of my favorite states and my favorite city in that state. I am 82 and wishing that I was young enough to travel there and take a class with you... and that I had found a source as good when I was teaching myself to paint at 41.
There are a few comments here that devalue your achievement of building this easel, but do they not see that functionality can be beautiful as well as useful? And that comfort and ease of use can enhance the function that it was made for? The methodical thought that went into the creation that displays and stabilizes every possible type of painting support AND provides for every possible painting position is amazing. I'm in love with it, and would buy it in a heartbeat at what I consider a reasonable price if I had a studio that would accommodate it. My paintings that sold in New Mexico years ago were done on a sheet covered bed in a tiny bedroom, sitting in a kitchen chair. I sold over fifty paintings through local art shows and commissions. I couldn't have imagined such beauty, comfort and ease at my fingertips.
You mentioned the option of providing casters, but I do not see it being available on the website. Also, the retaining clips used to hold panels covers a lot of the painting surface. Is there a way to adjust those so they are more out of the way? I inquired about these things with a contact message on the website a while back but never received a response.
Do the clamps work on cradled wood panel? Or would it work more like the panel you demonstrated in this video. This is such a great product. Im seriously considering buying it❤
I'm very sad that I cannot buy any of your products in UAE or india.☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ I tried to check in your website...only some countries are allowed. I hope you open up your sales more please🙏🙏🙏
Hey Mark, I live in Australia so the postage for that size/weight article is way too much, but could you consider a kit of just the hardware that you can't get from a hardware store and plans for the wooden parts that can be made by the owner themselves. There are a lot of people who love, respect you GREATLY and follow you for years, but don't live in the USA or within a viable freight cost range, but would still be able to support you to some extent if they were given the option.
This easel is a work of art. A bit rich for my budget at the moment, but if I were equipping permanent studio this would be the easel I would invest in.
Probably the best easel in the world. When I sell my first oil painting this will be my reward to myself
I shared this video on 3 platforms. Maybe people will get one.

cant believe ive been watching This channel for 6 years now. learned alot here.
Really like the idea of being an artist and drinking while painting!
I am in love with this easel. Worth every penny! Excellent video that shows all the aspects of why this is such a great tool.

So glad I just asked myself what the best easel was and what a wonderful answer! 🖌✨So much more range than my old Mabef.
I like it! I like to lay on my side so can both paint and sleep concurrently. It’s a special skill I learned in the foxholes of Vietnam.

Double sided tape?

I personally use masking tape, I fold it over to make it double sided, I've never had a panel,big or small, fall off.
I hope more of the old products become available again
Now that is an amazing easel! I can't wait to get one.
Such an interesting easel !
Just assembled my easel today. Did get the bolts backwards but not sure that will matter. It is awesome - hope my paintings can make it proud.
I’m sure it is the best easel. Hopefully next year I can afford to purchase one.
This thing is impressive. It seems like you’ve thought of everything.
Gorgeous easel my friend ❤️
awesome. i am still amazed how the cavas edges are not wobbling!!
I'd be interested in a version that could be attached to the wall.
Would love to see the back of the canvas to see how the spikes hit.
That's an beautiful easel.
This is on my list !!

He does indeed seem to be a decent bloke.

Could you please provide the dimensions and weight for each box that's being shipped?

I want to buy your product. Unfortunately, there’s no shipping to Thailand. Hope you shipping to Thailand one day soon.❤❤
Its a shame its not available in the UK
Very nice.
I want this!
Can't find a place to buy the easel, its not on his web site
Wow and excellent
Very nice
Hi Mark. I qm interested in buying your easel. I cant find it in your website. Please let me know. Thank you.
💖
Can anybody tell me the height of the easel?
Whats the price of it ?
I can't see a need to spend $2,500+ for something to hold a canvas.
It looks good but massive overkill. Makes no sense for an antique looking easel. It's just wood.
I agree, it also costs $1800+
@@artaddict2313 Not for everyone, but well thought out and well designed for the serious artist. But perhaps not for the hobbyist or dabbler.

Very nice easel Mark. I built one based on your design from an older video, and I love it. Hoping to order one of these soon! Do you ship to Canada?
