Thanks for the suggestion. However, I have tried this in the past, but the sketchbook I tend to use is too heavy and overwhelms the resistance of the hinges and tips backwards.
Suggest reversing the t nut board as the base and therefore holding the weight directly to the tripod. The hinges will hold the pressure of painting on the unsupported board. ( you’ll have to remove the magnets and install them on the t nut board. As well as drilling holes in the t nut board ). This method works very well.

I have majority cotton with sweats that have 5% spandex ...i saw a study on fibers and the different hazards that can be release it was very interesting, also a family friend unfortunately had a camp fire that flared up and he was wearing alot of polyester and ending upflaming going up from socks to shorts to shirt, thsnk goddess his son tackle him and did a drop and roll move on his dad, he has scars but hes alive with just light burns, after that i talk to fureman to ask about whats good clothes you can wear without being a walking torch he said cotton.i enjoyed your video it makes me happy to know theres other people who think about clothes and such( my family thinks im a odd duck)..
Great job I did the same thing on my first builds using the Sothco tension hinges then I found “ELESA” hinges it is a absolute joy usking my palette now as I can tighten my hinges and holds my palette flat like it’s a solid board on my lap helping me to use my setup in many different uses.I’d suggest to look on the manufacturer website as do to so many miss leading manufacturers saying they are one brand and are not on Amazon just a FYI.
I really enjoyed this video the music fit the video perfect...was your yellow paintbrush holder handmade ? If you made it would it be possible if you could do a video of how you made it?... your painting turned out amazing...mikelle art mom🎨👩🎨✍
Thanks! I was really chuffed with how the picture turned out. The paintbrush holder is home made. I don't fully remember how I made it, but could have a good guess. I shall have a crack at making a video for that in the future.
As a Ukrainian i felt proud when you mentioned our Rosa (" gallery" line) company! 🇺🇦 . I graduated Kyiv s Academy of Arts as far long away as 1981🙈🙈, and i found that Rosa at the moment is the best substitution for the habitual St.Petersburg plant's production. I truly miss them now, living in Germany as a refugie...
Interesting video we also have a strawberry festival in my area, thanks for video...its nice to see that different countries have the same festivals as mine we are connected as humans commonalities...👩🎨🎨✍
Thanks for watching and commenting. I do love how these festivals connect us to other humans around the world, but also how it connects us to the cycle of seasons. It's nice to highlight when certain crops come into season. Though I personally have not had great luck with my strawberries. The birds and slugs find them before I do. Raspberries on the other hand - I always get an enormous crop.
Pretty views interesting how you were volunteer to perform but that must have have been quite a experience....i mightve felt claustrophobia...lol well done on going with the flow...thanks for showing the sites you were painting..👩🎨🎨✍
Hi i was wondering how your plein air board has held up im trying to get my husband to cut down a over sized clip board i used to have for my business ive watched your how to male a easel video about four times...thank you for making that video to help those of us that are on a limited budget....👩🎨🎨✍
Ah - in this video, I think I might be using my mark 2 sketch easel. The one I did a video on did end up being a little too thin to hang quite so much equipment off. I really should do a follow up video to compare the two. Something else for the to-do list! Did you end up making your clipboard easel?
My brother and newphew are programers and it goes over my head but i can understand their passion as im a retired horticulturist im sure when i talk plants and soil their eyes getting same way but i do like knowledge so i do enjoy hearing people talk about their passion what feeds their soul, thank you for teaching me a little bit of this i can bring this up to my brother and feel like we have a communication topic...i wish i could be better at computers but i thinkk fundamentally im a earth mom more connected to ebb flow of nature but i realized we need so many people to make our world better and computers can help the environment and so we all have our place....thank you again for showing behind scenes how a developer? Designer's a idea to get it to a game interesting...mikelle art mom 👩🎨✍🎨
Thank you for video and bit of history, im with your struggle about the brown vegetation we finally received a huge two day slow moving rain storm and our ground needed it so bad...i cant wait for winter and snow...lol yes im a northern mom live near Canada and usa border not use to lack of rain or excessive heat like weve gotten in the last 10 yrs....i think i can sketch your area you showed us via video area in my sketch book from your video, thank you so much for the mini history of area, i really enjoy learning about your country and follow a few artists on ytube and sherpa(hes a huskey and with owner they travel to scotland ireland thru out britian giving great views a bit of history) touring videos cause im pretty sure i' ll never win the lottery to be be able to be a world travel but the art community and the great artist ytubers has literally help me expand my global understanding, forever gratefully to have chance to learn about new countries and their history...i did rember that tidbit of your parliment almost being attacked from my highschool history classes its been over 30 yrs...lol.my history teacher would be proud..lol....i also like watching your painting it looks lovely. Im only in my third year of watercoloring and learning all about things that feed off of it brushes sketching,and books wcp, gouache, the learning info seems daughting but atleast i can learn at my pace and interpret my style of wcp and gouache pt and other art medians versus having to be just limited to certain type ( ytube is a huge helpful resource)just trying to find whats my favorite tho is hard theres so many to try out, as im a bit older in body not spirit tho i need many reinforcing teaching videos and theres so many lovely art supplies id like to try but budget wise you understand im sure itd be easy to become a art hoarder if i was a lottery winner, altho i know there r quite a few i dont like...lol.....mikelle art mom👩🎨✍🎨
Thanks for watching and commenting. It is a lovely spot with great views. I think I've drawn this confluence of streams multiple times from different angles and they are all lovely views.
Thank you actually made me understand a hinge or friction piece better and the nut on the back also thank you for showing how to do this via a walk thru show process i was thinking of upcycling one of my daughters old three ring binders and mcgyvering it to my tripod i think i might try to velcro a thin piece of wood to the back of your piece or but how to adapt so can use on a tv tray with out rocking? Maybe if velcro is used then it would be more flushed or still wobbly due to velcro? Or go with your idea of a thin piece or maybe glue around back nut? Hum?...lol..i know easier just to buy pieces of wood but i kinda find it exciting to try to macgyver older things so they dont end up in landfill, i do have a extremely large clipboard from older days of holding building blue prints i can get hubby to cut down and try your idea which seems more developed than my idea of using a upcycle 3 ring school binder broken down, best go with your idea as id be able to use in different areas of house while watching tv...but still what to do with a old broken( just the vinyl is ripped off in pieces binder idea.)..lol...really enjoyed your video....do you think you can do a updated video on your thoughts of the hinges working and such much appreciated...thank you again...mikelle art mom👩🎨✍🎨
I like the idea of using velcro. Definitely quicker and less of a faff than the fiddling I have to do with the tripod nut. I'm not sure about the adapting to a TV tray part. Do you mean that the base where the palette is would sit flat on a flat TV tray and the back angle up from that? If so, I guess you could make an angled wedge with one side designed to be flat on the tray and the other at the angle you want the back held at. Then put the velcro on that edge to hold it in place on the back. Let me know how you get on and what you decide to do. It's very cool how many variations of this idea are out there and how people adapt it to their own needs and preferences.
Hello. Apologies for the delayed response. I've had a look to refresh my memory, and I think I got them from Amazon. Here'e a link to the WMF ones www.amazon.co.uk/WMF-Replacement-Knife-Block-Silver/dp/B00FIV2NO2 . Pretty sure I got these and not he HANZIUP ones (www.amazon.co.uk/HANZIUP-Bristles-Dishwasher-Removable-Universal/dp/B072HV5Y12), as the former had a much thinner bottom and was, as a result, easier to cut and glue into different shapes. Looking at the price of these (I think they were cheaper when I bought), it might be cheaper to buy a complete block - some of which are cheaper than bristles alone - and harvest the bristles from it. And I guess use the outside for something else, maybe holding utensils. That's probably the way I'd go if I did this again.
Have you tried it the other way with the board with the t-nut flat on the top of the tripod and the other board as the back board for the paper, would hold more weight as it would be centred on the tripod but I'm not sure if it would work that way?
If your really ambitious I like to embed my t nuts and cover it with a inlay piece of wood to make the surface nice and clean a big help is grinding the t nut or filing it to the thickness of the palette wood it’s embedded into.
Hiya, this video is more of a diary, it's not intended as a tutorial. If you are looking for a how-to video, check out the one that I linked in the description. That is the tutorial that I followed. Hope it is useful to you also.
It's definitely under a bit of stress around the hinges. I'm thinking of adding a thin strip of metal to reinforce the wood at that end, but haven't gotten around to it. I tried a smaller version with thicker ply, which is mostly working out ok. Except for the fact that the torsion hinges sheared through the middle. Quality of very similar looking hinges is quite variable apparently.
