New Easel
I have been working on a new easel design that has a sliding hand rest. The top and bottom guides are both adjustable to the size of the canvas. And it also tilts forward and back to get the right angle.
The wing nuts make it easy to adjust and I dadoed out the slots on the back supports so that it would slide on track.
This is a close up of the rollers at the top of the hand rest. It works pretty smooth.
Over all I am happy with how it turned out. It is very functional and made for a fraction of the cost of buying a new one from the Art store.
