SIMPLE AND HIGH

Making of this easel requires not much of your time and you dont need to have some special
skills. All you have to do is to precisely make the items with the exact measurements as given in this
documentation, then join those parts together with bolts.
You can use various types of wood to make this type of easel, but we recommend birch, beech,
oak, maple, ash, alder, or some other types with similar qualities. Pay attention, to choose some well
dried wood.

Minimal size of the painting:

Width: 450mm (17,7 inches)
Height: no limits
Maximal size of the painting:
Width: max 1800mm (70,7 inches)
Height: 1100mm (43,3 inches)

NOTE: The measurements within this text and 2D documentation are given both in milimeters and
inches (in brackets). This website is based on ISO measurement unit system, which is the international
standard. I apologize to the people who use other measurement units; but I believe that measurements
given in milimeters and inches should be adequate for everyone who would like to build this project.
Besides that, on todays Internet it is easy to purchase the ruler containing all the measurement
units and overcome the difficulties of any kind.
Make the components as given on drawings.
