It was good right up to the end, but you forgot to jump on it - what kind of lousy engineering is that?

[@RobertKreegier]

Why not put a slot in the other board, too, so the thing can fold up flat? And a handle on top so it can be carried easily.

[@Wordsnwood]

It can fold flat, just disconnect that brace from the back leg

[@JohnHeisz]

That John guy sounds like a real hack! Make an easel from scrap ply?? :)

[@Wordsnwood]

At least he doesn't paint things purple... ;-)

[@DeclanMurphyDM]

I think the most striking element of this build was the love that went into it. Well done, I hope your daughter loves it.

nice video work for a simple project... emotional standing ovation from Taiwan :)

[@KSFWG]

A nice project that your daughter will probably treasure for years to come and wrapped up in a video with a "homage" to other video woodworkers. Well done, Art!

[@matthiaswandel]

Jou left out Jimmy Diresta.

[@Wordsnwood]

I left out a whole bunch... My wife asked if I was going to do a little dance like April Wilkerson does... I just couldn't! ;-) At first I was just going to limit it to folks I've met, but I had to do the Purple bit!

[@matthewmclaren9353]

Jimmy would've just spray painted it white, in case some New York hoodlum stole it.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Very entertaining and I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled, well done Art!

[@Wordsnwood]

Hey Stu! Thanks! She's already using it, but you know how kids are unimpressed with their parents... ;-)

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice looking Easel Art! Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Your style of working in the shop matched mine nearly 100% (knocking wood all around and changing the plans are just a few examples). I thought the easel came out looking really nice. Great job Art!

[@theodorebowers9737]

Thanks nice little project useful simple easy for some beginners don't cost much either not too much time excellent project thank you thumbs up well done good job mate all that stuff thanks

[@jf8461]

Inspired me to build one 👍🏼

[@Wordsnwood]

Have fun!

[@clydedecker765]

As an artist, I'd suggest row of holes up the outside (upright) supports and two (tapered) pegs to use to provide support for the outside edges of canvases/paintings/boards/cardboard/?? and prevent tilting to the left or right. Like the design but a little help? Maybe a small movable clamp to hold the various sized canvases to the central support at the top?

[@Wordsnwood]

Thanks for the ideas. I'm sure there are many ways that would work. I've seen one where there are slots in the outer legs, which allows for infinite adjustability. This way just seemed simpler -- my daughter is just using this for school. I'm sure a professional artist would have much more stringent requirements! :-D

[@glenmckelvey5952]

That should get you a few cool Dad points . Nice job .

[@berthatton9410]

Fun entertaining video with a good project...thanks. The painting section could of referenced Jackson Pollock ;-)

[@Wordsnwood]

I may have done some research on him... ;-)

[@jabrwok]

Neat little project. Do you anticipate any problems arising from only having one clamping point for the canvas support shelf? Looks like it could tilt. I'm not sure whether that's a real problem though as I am not an artist.

[@Wordsnwood]

It clamps really tight. Works so far!

[@trongod2000]

Item # 424689 for the knob and Item # 137388 for the thread insert AT LOWE's

[@Wordsnwood]

Thanks, that should help out some people.

[@Jay2525Jay]

Great video. Thanks

[@TheBeerbelly007]

Your pokes at other you tubers was funny---

[@jeffandphoebe]

Good stuff! Do you have a link to the jig hardware kit?

[@Wordsnwood]

It's all in the video description...

[@jeffandphoebe]

Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) thanks. I didn't scroll down far enough.

[@trongod2000]

See my post Jeff. I give the item numbers for the knob and threaded insert at Lowe's. It's much cheaper to buy as you go than end up buying a kit that has a bunch of stuff you won't use.

[@Wordsnwood]

That depends on the person. If you are an active woodworker, I suspect that those knobs and bolts will all get used eventually.

[@Sebastopolmark]

And if you were Art, you would make just this way! !! !!! Hope you checked with your daughter before you "splattered" the easel?? GREAT tribute to the woodworker content providers - spot on.

[@Wordsnwood]

She was willing to let me experiment... ;-)

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

What no reaction clip of your Daughter seeing it for the first time??????

[@Wordsnwood]

I have no budget for guest stars...

[@KSFWG]

With all the money you saved by using scrap wood for the project, there should have been plenty in the budget for a guest star...but then you would set a "precedent" for every video that the budget wouldn't support. ;)

[@watcherofwatchers]

We watch the same creators!

[@myxology]

If your name was Art, you might pre-splatter your project! :) Nice work, Art!

[@Wordsnwood]

There are worse things to be known for... I think?

[@DIYHGP]

You were too kind to the other guys. you should’ve poked more fun. I enjoyed it thanks
