Thank you, I'm too camera shy too be talking! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Mette Østerhaug Isn’t that the truth haha

@@ontheworkbench8743 there was no need for the narrative really. I'm also too shy even though I used to be a dj in my past. Some dimensions would've been nice though. Great tutorial. 👏👏👏

Your skilled hands did all the talking 🎉​@@ontheworkbench8743

Thank you, and you! :)

Thank you William, I'm glad this video helps you!

I was thinking the same thing. Put a board on the bottom, add a handle & some kind of latch.

My friend made a similar one by adapting his tabletop easle. Seemed to work but this one is a bit more robust

I'm glad it has helped you, thanks for watching!

I‘m late, but here‘s what I‘m working with. I‘ll start building it this evening. Top board is 40x60 cm with a 2cm edge at the bottom. Frame is built with 34cm and 46cm bars (3x4) , making the whole frame 34x52. The holes for adjusting on the sides are 5cm apart each. The adjustment assembly is 3x2x46 at the top, 2x2x45 for both sides and a round piece with ø1x54 cm for the bottom. Hope this helps :)

@@teddybear5788Thanks!

Thank you! :)

Thank you, Gabriel :)

Yes, definitely!

Crafty fellow wont give you any dimensions he want you to order easel from him

You could really make it any size you want.

Wood.

Hi Maggie, thank you! I gifted this to somebody shortly after making it so I don't have dimensions for it. However, I didn't actually go by any measurements. Just use a piece of board the size you need and all the other parts can they be made to fit the board you go with! Good luck with it! 👍

Don't worry, a small hand-drill will work perfectly, good luck with it!

This whole project can be done using a handsaw and a drill, no workshop machinery needed, although it does speed things up!

On The Workbench I have a jigsaw without guides and no vice. I really like your video and want to make this drawing board! I can get four sessions at a workshop for $200, but at that price I might as well buy one. Any advice for limited resources and tools or on making nice straight cuts with a handsaw? I could easily buy the drill bits necessary. Cutting is my main concern.

@@edvoorhees4253 I would recommend finding yourself a piece of wood, mark out loads of straight lines an inch or so apart and start cutting., practice is really the only way to get good at cutting straight lines by hand, it's not that hard though, you will master it in no time! As for limited resources, you don't need many tools to get into woodwork, a handsaw, drill, 2 or 3 chisels, a plane and maybe a coping saw for cutting curves. Try to purchase them used in local ads or ask around, plenty of people have these tools lying around in their sheds. Machinery only speeds things up, you'll learn so much more from using hand tools first.

​@@ontheworkbench8743 Thank you so much. Your video has really inspired me. The idea of making something of beauty and function by hand is very appealing. Does one get a degree or apprenticeship to become a professional carpenter?

@@edvoorhees4253 I'm certainly not a professional! I started woodwork from a young age however and I'm a trained luthier but love all kinds of "making"!

Yes, it is a screw. Use a "pan-head" screw andscrew it in all the way and then loosen it half a turn to allow the wood too move freely. Good luck with it :)

@@ontheworkbench8743 thanks bro, lifesaver

This was just some scrap ply that I had leftover for another project. It is 9mm thickness but you can use any thickness you like!

Wood thickness was 9mm

que tonto! No hace falta un taller todo equipado: si tienes una sierra, un martillo, un taladro, un puñado de tornillos y 4 trozos de madera que te sobraron de otro proyecto, es fácil! Lo acabo de hacer y no tengo taller ni ná!

I don't, sorry!

This can be made to any size you need!

Hi, I wish I had a factory! This was done in my small workshop which use to be my bedroom! Yes I have a bandsaw and drill press but these are not needed to make this, it just helps speed up the process but you can use a hand-saw and any drill you have. My suggestion for you would be to make a board with strip of wood like I do in the start of this video, then paper can rest on it! Thanks for watching.

Piece of wood top and bottom on some bolts to tighten on paper

Easily solved with any one of a number of solutions.

Hello. Thanks for your comment! Yes, I have a bandsaw, drill press and sanding machine, however these merely speed up the work. All pieces in this little project can be cut using a handsaw, drilled with a hand drill and shaped/sanded using sandpaper.

You'd be surprised what you can build with a hand saw, a hammer, some nails and wood glue. All of which are the most basic tools needed for this project.

It's a great video, I'm not at all used to woodworking but I feel like I can confidently put it together using just a hand drill, any kind of saw and some wood glue and screws(you can get wood cut to size any place you're able to get it anyway if you're so inclined, but it just doesn't matter you make the dimensions whatever works Other things like a band saw etc just speeds up and makes the process of building easier.

Dear Lord, really? DIY stands for "Do It Yourself" and that is exactly what he is doing. The tools just make things easier. I have all those tools and more and guess what? I still do the projects myself. DIY get it. GREAT video by the way and keep up the good work.
