We decided to hired two pitch’s one at the war and peace show and the other at military Odyssey to exhibit and show my artwork. As the names suggest both these shows are about military history and there were lots of people dressed up in military uniforms particular around world War 1 and 2. My two sons have served in Afghanistan and so much of my art work has a military theme. I decided to make a French style easel for the shows as I wanted one stronger than you can buy in the shops and a different size, the overall size of my easel is nineteen and a half inches long by fifteen inches wide.
Hear are some photos of my easel being used at the War and Peace show and the others of it being constructed, the plans are available free on my web site, as I have said my french easel is stronger than you can buy in the shops, if you want to reduce the weight then the legs and main frame can be reduced by one eighth of an inch.
