With Counterweighted easels
the painting is clamped into the mounts, then it is easily raised and lowered.
The counterweight effectively makes the canvas almost weightless, so you can
slide it up and down effortlessly. Perfect for big paintings as you can always
have the section you are working on at eye level. All counter weighted easels
have a tilt range of plus 5 degrees minus 10 degrees, they fold flat for transport
and can be carried by one man. The captive weight can be removed and is in multiple
sections for canvases of different weights. Operation by pulleys and wooden
counterweight, is light, easy, fast and smooth. Bottom mounts can be raised
and lowered on the main shaft separate to the counterweight to allow for lower
ceilings. Easel vertical travel is adjustable to suit ceiling height. Locking
knobs top and bottom lock the movement rigid, if required. The movement is simple
strong and reliable. All easels have lockable heavy duty, rubber tired metal
castors with ball bearing pivots . All H frames fold flat for storage and
transport. - See the Counterweighted
fixed angle easel
With Counterweighted easels you do not need
winders or winches because counterweights are, quicker, easier and a lot simpler,
to operate.

Hi Jeff,
The easel turned up safe and sound last week. Many thanks! I love the
counterbalance: that and the build quality are all that is promised
and more.
Kind regards,
Al - Alice Springs.

Student
version - HCH1600S - $1065
- you must oil this easel. Some surfaces will be supplied ultra fine sanded
to allow a smooth sliding action of the easel, the rest will be medium sanded.
Unsanded version - HCH1600U - $865 - You must sand and oil
this easel. The surfaces that move against each other must be sanded glossy
smooth.
This easel wheels through a standard door.
A tray reduces canvas depth by approximately 75 mm. To use the full vertical
travel of the easel you need a 3 metre ceiling height, although it will work
OK with 2.7 metres, but vertical travel is slightly reduced.

Red Hardwoods and Spotted Gum costs more
to deliver due to increased weight. Please
ask for prices. When
easels are sent to a private home please advise a secure place where the parcel
can be left, if no one is home. I can usually predict when parcels will arrive
in Metro areas however this is not 100% accurate and cannot be fully relied
upon. My carrier will not leave a parcel without instructions to do so.
HC2000 - Takes Canvases to 2 metres By 2 Metres
- (scroll down the page for an even larger model)
The HC2000 is essentially
the same easel as a HC1600 but larger, the wood sections are longer and wider
the main frame is increased by 200 mm and the sides are 100 mm taller. You should
only consider one of these easels if your studio has a ceiling height of 3 metres
plus. It is a seriously big easel and will handle canvases 2metres X 2 metres.

A scaled up version of the
counterweighted easel. Sides base cross members and centre slide are all larger
sections of wood, but the easel behaves the same way as the H1600. Only to be
considered when the ceiling height is 3.6 metres.
These are seriously
big easels. This one is in recycled Oregon. I only wish I had better
photos of some of the easels I have made over the years.
This is a wide special
counterweight HC2400 easel, in Victorian Mountain Ash.
This is the easel
on the left with a HC2000 with tray and palette holder.
Delivery prices are the same as for the
HS1600 however the centre shaft will be in 2 sections that join, when sent partially
assembled.
I also deliver Melbourne and country Victoria,
fully assembled easels, very reasonably. Please ask me.
