    My DIY Adjustable Wall Easel

    My DIY Adjustable Wall Easel

    I decided to build a wall easel that is easily adjustable and does not take up much room. I chose anodised aluminium profile as it is strong, very straight and takes up very little space. In addition, there is a range of accessories such as T slot nuts and end caps. I used T slot nuts, grub screws and star knobs to lock the sliding clamps in place. The clamps can easily be swapped/removed, as the star knob screws into the T nut the stays in the profile and is easily moved, and therefore allows for many combination of canvas sizes.
