Wall Mounted Easel Converstion

After search the internet for a affordable Wall Mounted Easel as I have limited space, I could not find one, So I converted a budget floor easel with two hand made bent metal bars and some strong screws. You find a fold away H-frame Easel the best for wall mounting, using the base in the folded postion to fit the brackets too. The easel will be tilt-able and height adjustable as if floor standing, I have attached a picture of the finished project.

Chris

Re: Wall Mounted Easel Converstion

Hi Chris! I love your setup!

I know this question is random, but I LOVE your giant painting knives! They look too large to be art store kind, where did you get them?

Thanks so much for your post, your setup is awesome!

This is a very old thread and the OP may not see your question. Those aren't knives, they are masonry trowels - the sort used by brick layers. You'll find them in various sizes at any good hardware store.
