My wife has started doing colouring books as a distraction and relaxation thing and it seems to be helping. However, leaning over the tablewas causing a backache. I suggested buying an easel but before doing that I thought it would be worth trying something to see if it was worthwhile. After a quick hunt around the garage I found some scrap wood and made that thing below.
The idea was to test the angle etc. So after a couple of holes drilled, two screws screwed and some fun with a nail gun and hot glue and duct tape behold the masterpiece! It actually seems to work OK and helps. I said I would go and get some decent wood and make a proper version that was finished properly but apparently my wife is perfectly pleased with this.
Then she mentioned it to my mum who does watercolour painting. Now my mum wants one. Trouble is I now have to go and buy the wood to make one for her as there isn’t any old bits in the garage I can use. We do have a nice teak dining table though, maybe a peice of that wouldn’t be missed.
