That's fabulous, Simon!

Is your's like the Hughes/Sorg easels, in that you can freely slide it up and down? Also, is there a securing clamp at the top to hold a canvas support in place when you position your easel at a more vertical angle?

As another fellow occasional custom easel builder, I am very impressed! (I built a colossal easel once that now serves as a computer desk, using scrap lumber from Home Depot, and heavy duty hardware. 24 years ago I could not afford a French Easel, so I made a variant of my own, I still use, costing $80.00 in mahogany and brass.)
