Building an Easel

The mast was made with three planks cut at 30 degree angles sandwiched together. The two outer pieces are screwed to the easel while the center plank floats in the center. The mast will adjust high to accommodate a very large canvas, much higher then my eight foot ceilings will allow. I drilled a finger hole in the center of the mast to make adjustments easy and I rubbed the angle cuts with candle wax to allow the mast to glide up and down easily.
