I am building an easel for my wife. She is a professional artist. This is probably a bit more elaborate than what most of you might envision. It is almost 8 feet high and can hold a 4' x 6' canvas. It has a system of counterweight and pulleys so theartist can move the canvas up, down, or sideways with one finger. I am building it out of quartersawn white oak and mahogany. Most of the joints are dowel reinforced with a few dominos in parts. A sketchup drawing and photo of some of the parts in

Looks nice! Good choice of woods. I'd probably use ash, mainly
because I have a pile of it but white oak and mahogany are perfect for
this too.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask you, how can I make the right choice
and buy a quality plunge router. I noticed that I need this tool, but I
do not want to buy a bad one.

I threatened to build my wife an easel, but we found a rather expensive
one on sale at a good price at Jerry's here in Raleigh. It was well constructed and of oak.
I do like the idea of putting wheels on the easel. With the weight it
will be easy to move around. Do you have locks on the wheels?
She uses her easel for painting, but we also use it to photograph the paintings when they are done. She has large windows on three sides of
her studio, so lighting is not a problems, but for the best results for
the photographs the easel gets move for the best light on the painting. Wheels would be a big help.

Some are about the packing or delivery! Don't go by the numbers. Read
the reviews. I discount any review where the seller has made good on
the sale (replaced or refunded).
There are also decent reviews of this sort of thing on Youtube. I
watched one last night on palm router, in fact. The Bosch and Dewalt
were at the top. The reviewer used a Dewalt, it that means anything.
