But best of all, I bought an Ikea foodplank and builded a sketch easel with your tips. Keep up the work!

I wondered if the strong magnets will trigger TSA screening problems. By the way, I love my new easel. Your video helped so much. You even taught me how to use Gorilla Glue and plumber's epoxy! Thanks for your answer about how to hold the tee-nut in place. I was able to press-fit it.

The ones with the round back can be glued in—or press-fit if the hole is the right size. Either way, the tripod screw will hold them in place.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-47812336351032444432017-08-23T09:28:49.373-04:002017-08-23T09:28:49.373-04:00One question not answered in the video: How is the...One question not answered in the video: How is the t-nut attached to the easel back? Is it glued in the hole, or just held by friction when you screw it to the quick release plate? I'm so glad I bought the video. It has many helpful details that aren't in the blog posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240863655980718589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-80533376828520294622017-05-28T19:04:03.740-04:002017-05-28T19:04:03.740-04:00James, any chance you might sell a diffuser?James, any chance you might sell a diffuser?VickiRossArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258305858132024962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-14071253959715133532017-05-28T09:11:27.117-04:002017-05-28T09:11:27.117-04:00Looking forward to seeing the full length video. ...Looking forward to seeing the full length video. Your workshop scenes remind me of photos I've seen of Maxfield Parrish. He had a well-equipped workshop and delighted in making a range of objects, including custom-built packing crates for his paintings.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-81385979511919553712017-05-27T17:08:46.272-04:002017-05-27T17:08:46.272-04:00Cool!

It works but it makes it a pain to get back off.<br />So cool. I've made a couple pochade boxes, each trying to do everything and finally decided to copy yours by photos from your post and I've had the most luck with that. I always give credit and direct people to your blog for that often. I'm glad to have something really specific to direct them to. <br />Even though I already built one I'll have to get this at some point to see what other advice you have. :)Jared Cullumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118946650091026386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-41608005461078234302017-05-27T08:59:26.658-04:002017-05-27T08:59:26.658-04:00Bought just now, thanks for doing this James!Bought just now, thanks for doing this James!Fabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178447427477151830noreply@blogger.com
