Hi Jeff Last Thursday when I came back home, my easel was there waiting for me in bubble wrap. I was so happy. It took me a while to unwrap the many many layers of bubble wrap, but it took me no time at all to set up the easel. It is a beautiful , very well made and super sturdy easel . I am very happy with this easel and would be happy to recommend your easels to anybody. Here I attached a picture of my easel in use. Thanks again. :) Regards Amy - May has a FFM400 in Merbau

Hello Jeff The easel arrived just before Christmas - many thanks. The mosaic is titled Tree of Life; my partner Sharon Pech created it. Regards, Ron. - Easel is a WIB1750

My new easel arrived yesterday. It is a beauty. HUGE to be able to carry big canvases and it operates by counterweights, so to raise it or lower it - you just undo two knobs & raise and lower the bar with the touch of a finger. So easy for little girls like me. So if you want to raise it or lower it - you just loosen those two out side knobs (where you see three) at the front & raise or lower it.The big block at the back gives it the weight - there are two more blocks you can add to give it more weight for a heavier canvas.This guy does beautiful work. Takes pride & joy in it & is a perfectionist. Also a real darling to deal with - very helpful & is also an artist so he knows what is needed .I love the little knobs - no more wing nuts.!! - hoorah.

You can see the original post here - Jeff This is a HCH2000 since 2002 I have made some changes since, but essentially the design is the same - Jeff.

Hi Jeff, We received our easel yesterday and have set it up in the foyer section of the administration office (see attached pics).Thanks for such excellent and fast service.

Dear Jeff, A previous owner framed the Miro print in an ostentatiously substantial way; we don't mind the effect but the result weights 8.5kg. The easel is the perfect solution. It easily takes the weight and is quite stable. Regards, Ian Cameron - The easel is a Black Folding Aluminum Easel

Hi Jeff Thanks so much for making the lovely easel for us, it was just what we were looking for. It arrived with no problems, and I assembled the easel straight away.We have it placed at the entry way to our house with our beautiful Peter Lik photography book on it. We bought a magnificent Peter Lik photography book which has hundreds of his photos in it. We wanted to display the beautiful book so others who entered our home could appreciate the photos too. Thanks Natalie

Hello, I can't remember if I told you that I assembled the easel. I took your advice and had no problems. Here is a picture of it in use. I'm working in a messy garage until I get the house organized. I'm finding the counter-weight a joy. I have back problems and I can move the canvas or me as required and find I'm less tired after a session in the "studio". Cheers, Paula - Easel is a FFH1600

Looks great. Every home that loves books needs a Jeff Lacey Book Display Easel. For the big and beautiful books in your library, show it don't stow it. PS Thanks for the complimentary pen. Regards, Anthony Kennedy. - Anthony purchased the Freestanding Book Easel for "The Art Museum" Book

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for the wonderful easel. It arrived exactly when you said it would and I have been enjoying working on it for a few weeks now. It is beautifully designed, has great versatility and it is marvelously stable. My art practice is quite diverse. I like sometimes to work vertically and at others to work flat so the easel is perfect since it converts so easily. This is truly a tremendous asset to my art practice. Thank you again.

Hi Jeff, after using your easels for a few years, I thought it is probably time to write back to tell you how good they are :) Thank you for the excellent work - I am sending a small photo as a proof :) (and I have also put a link to 'easels galore' on my web site http://www.annael.com/) Best regards, Annael (Anelia Pavlova) - Easel looks like a H frame made form Oregon, design has since changed. I expect this easel is at least 7 to 8 years old at time of receiving photo.

Hi Jeff, The easels worked perfectly last week. I've attached a photo of them in use. There's also a few more of them with the rest of the exhibition on my blog: http://ragamuffinpetphotography.com.au/2011/ragamuffin-pet-photography/fineart/my-bachelor-of-arts-in-photography/ Thanks again! - -Caitlin - The easels are ABHL1600White display easels www.ragamuffinpetphotography.com.au You should check out Caitlins site, some of the best pet photographs I have ever seen!

Jeff, As you can see, the easel looks perfect with our art. Our new home is uniquely configured with one art deco wall, another wall with a high window, a third "wall" which is glass doors and then no fourth wall as the lounge room opens into the dining. There was no place to hang our painting. Finding your website was fate! The promptness with which you addressed my questions and provided me with the information I needed to make my decision was very fast. I appreciated your communication on where I was in the "queue" and in your process of building our easel. It's hard to believe that you were able to craft exactly what we needed and have it to us in less than a week. The instructions for assembly were very clear and the easel is so well made - I thank you for both. I wish you all the best. Candice Smith -Easel is a black DSD1800B

Hello Jeff, Could you please send me 2 more of the easels. We are so impressed with the compact easel we have decided to get one for each of our trainers. Rather than putting a big wooden easel in the 4wd and tying it down (unpractical ) we can slot this compact little easel into one of the draws in the 4wd. Cheers Marian Rogan Brisbane Hinterland 4wd p: (02) 6736 5682

Hi Jeff, Sorry it has taken me so long to send photos. I have some others but I am yet to exhibit the works so I don't really want to put them out there! But here's one straight after construction and one inside my studio .Thanks, the easel is working out well. Regards, Rachael Hooper - the easel is a HBH1800 with an extended centre shaft.

Hi Jeff, The easels fitted so beautifully in with the rustic vintage theme! Three people asked me on the night where I got them from, so I hope I could generate some business for you. Take care. Greetings Marina - The easels were DL size in Jarrah.

Hi Jeff - sorry it has taken so long to send you a pic of your easel in my studio but finally got around to it. I have had an exhibition to paint for so that took a lot of my time. But done and dusted now. I am absolutely thrilled with both easels and love working on them - the only problem is I now have got them dirty. ( just joking) I tell all who ask about easels to buy one from you. Hope all is well and your not working too hard!! Cheers Gerry Jensen - Gerry's easel is a FFH400 the other one is a DTWCH

Hi there, I am halfway through the Chapel St Precinct, Art Town art exhibition, so I thought I would show the progress so far. I had such a great weekend in the sun doing what I love and watching the street-life of Windsor unfold.

If you look at the left hand photo you will note David is painting with a FFHVM easel

I have finally finished the Chapel st artwork after four sessions of outdoor painting. The people I met during the process were really fantastic and supportive, some even stopping to pose for the painting, thanks specially to Colin (front and centre) who was a true Windsor local!

Hi Jeff, It has been a few weeks now since you delivered the new studio easel. As you remember it was the HBK 1800.with optional tray and palette holders. I started using the easel from day one and have been over the moon with it. It is rock solid, which helps you to work Very precise if need be. Adjusting is a breeze. My previous easel was an a frame, which I now use for displaying and drying painting. Changing to the new easel is going from a Volkswagen to a Bentley; pure class. Thanks Jeff, you are a star!! Cheers, Hans The photos are of Hans at the easel and one of his paintings you, can see more of his work be visiting his website.

Hello Jeff, Thank you for the confirmation. The package arrived at 7:30am this morning and we, i.e. Nathalie and I are delighted with the easels. Their simplicity is elegance itself and the wood and wood working is beautiful. Thanks again, Mark. Mark Purchased 320mm small easels for his wedding menu's and will ultimately use them to display photographs.

Hi Jeff Thank you again for your beautiful book stand. I am so glad that I chose the Grey Iron Bark wood. It is very strong and looks fantastic. The Koran sits perfectly on it. Time frame and delivery was spot on and the price was even better. Whoever sees the stand is taken away with amazement. Book stands like these are very hard if not impossible to find. Such a beautiful Koran deserves a beautiful stand. Thank you again Jeff. Kind Regards Ali Hijazi This is a Freestanding Book Stand with a 820x500mm solid top made from Grey Iron Bark to hold a copy of the Koran. Many thanks Ali!!

Hi Jeff,
We have just had the easels put together and they look great!!
Good on you.

Hopefully we will be able to get more from you in future.
Very best,

Hi Jeff, The easel arrived safely today (you alone must keep the bubble wrap factory in business :-) I immediately - and with great excitement - assembled it. I had no trouble at all putting it together. And took your advice and used good wood glue. This easel is just beautiful: sturdy extremely well made with all the artist's needs catered for. Thanks so much Jeff. (To think for the last years I've been painting on a small aluminum specimen with one leg!) Your easel couldn't be more of a contrast. The easels I've looked at in art shops are flimsy and cheap looking whereas yours are entirely different: solid and high quality. I can't stop smiling :))) I'll be happy to send you a photo of the easel in use for your website. Thanks again! Kind regards, Jahara http://www.paintingsilove.com/artist/jahara The easel is a HBH2000 with tray and palette holder .I use 100 metres of 1.5 metres wide bubble wrap every month!!! I like to make sure the easels arrive undamaged. - Jeff

Hi Jeff, The easel has arrived safe and sound. Thank you for your great service and prompt delivery. I'm just off to put it together now. Cheers, Ronnie This HBH1800 is the second easel Ronnie Harris has purchased from me. The first was 3 years ago.

Hi Jeff, The easel arrived today. It looks fantastic, but I must say I was surprised at how pale the wood colour is. If I decide that I want to deepen the colour a little, is there a product that you would recommend? Regards, Anne Maree Newbery Hamilton Qld 4007 Anne Maree ordered a ABHL1800 in Vic. Ash, this wood is not so dark when freshly sanded, but does darken with age. I do offer easels in a choice of stains and natural woods.

Click on the photo to see more . Hi Jeff The easel is brilliant! Because the easel is on casters, I can leave the extension piece on, and relocate the easel. I need the extra height for the 6-foot canvas. As you can see, I work sitting down a lot these days. Being able to adjust the height of the painting in seconds is just fantastic. Previously I relied on the old dentists chair for adjustment. The two combined is terrific! In the photos, I have tried to show WHY I bought the easel, showing me "working" at various heights and adjustments. Brian Deagon Brian has a HCH 2000 with tray, he lives in Queensland. He has an impressive web site! Brian E Deagon's Art of Australia well worth a visit.

Hi Jeff, thank you for the easel it's great. Arrived beautifully packaged at lunch time today. Very hard to find a suitable place to photograph it without other things around. Tried moving heaps of stuff but these photos are the best I could do. At least you can see how well the books will look on it. The permanent place for it will be in my little library the close up of the book was taken in there and it looks great against the dark plum wall. Unfortunately I don't have a whole wall without immoveable objects in there so had to move it to the paler walls of the hall. Thank you again, I'm thrilled with it. Regards, Patricia Boyle. Patricia ordered a WIB1750 easel for a book, it is painted in an antique gold colour.

Hello Jeff,

Just wanted to thank you for supplying us with the beautiful easel in such quick time, we are very impressed with its design, as is my cat who thinks the tray was designed specifically for her to sleep on. I cant wait to start using it!

Thanks again,

Hi there, Jeff
Thanks for sending this link. I was lucky enough to receive the easel itself before checking the emails, but now I can send the link to my friends and brag a little. he he.

Thank you so much for this beautiful, special easel. Not only does it look good but it smells magnificent. I really like the idea of having the feel and smell of wood as I do my work. Wow.

I won't actually be using it for real until next week, but for now I can just sit here and admire it. Wonderful.

Thanks again, and all the best from me.
regards,
Renée. - Renée ordered a Tilting Book Easel with Solid Top

Dear Jeff, With much anticipation the delivery driver left me with (a)- a bubble wrapped body, (b)- a blow-up doll! It wasn't`t until after my frenzied attack on the bubble wrap, that a beautiful easel was revealed! Without knowing what I wanted, I received exactly what I wanted; even down to the oil finished timbers. To say that I`m happy with your product is a gross understatement. The quality and finish is second to none. Furthermore, the mosaic has now been in place overnight to no detriment of itself or the easel. In other words nothing broke or fell over! Once again a big Thank you for both your service and your excellent product. Do keep up the good work. Best Regards, Danny PS. I have been trying really hard to give up my addiction to bubble wrap, but what can I do?, so therapeutic to pop them all. Grief!

, This is the easel and Mosaic (30 Kilogram weight) that Danny was talking about. His reference to bubble wrap: I sent the easel fully assembled as I wanted to make sure there would be no problems due to the weight it would carry. It was wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap, it would take him months to pop it. I liked the humor in his email!!

Hi Jeff, Please find attached a shot from the Exhibition Stand we've used you easel for. It looked great and very elegant. Kind Regards, Vici Schneyer. www.studiofourteen.com.au

Hi Jeff, Finally, yesterday, I found the time to put your beautiful easel together with the help of a friend. It looks absolutely wonderful. So easy to move around, and today I got back into a pastel that had been sitting patiently since January to be finished. Can't wait to do my first mosaic on it!Anyway here are a few photos of one of my latest mosaic pieces, this is a table top inspired by Finnish wildflowers on me and my mum's trip to Finland last winter (Finland's summer). As yet I haven;t got legs for it but they should be finished by August. A local artist is making wrought iron legs to suit. So as you can see I will be able to do quite large works on your lovely easel. This table top measure 1.2 m in diameter. Hope you enjoy it, best wishes and thanks again on a job well done! Cheers, Iris Ztarr - The easel is a HHV1800 - Horizontal to vertical H Frame

manuel - Manuel is in New York USA he purchased a FFHVX easel. I have asked him to send a photo, which I trust he does.

Hello Jeff,
The easel arrived a few days ago - I am really happy with it. The
instructions for assembly are spot on. It is beautifully made and it works
like a dream. Wow!

I oiled all of the pieces with olive oil prior to assembly just with
the screws to see how it works.In a week or so I will dismantle it and
re-assemble using the special wood glue as well. Thanks again Jeff - its
brilliant.

This email was from Gerard who purchased a HCH2000S Student model

Hi Jeff
The summer art school was a success and for me your easel meant the following: ease of transport; easy to assemble; rock solid, held my board without a wobble or endeavoring to fall sideways; this time no distractions from the easel, the design is excellent. Thank you for a job well done.

Hello Jeff,

I received my easel today and must say THANKYOU.
From the moment I contacted you, your service was outstanding.
However it is the easel itself that has stolen your limelight!
What a lovely thing it is.
A work of art.
Something I will very much enjoy using.

Thank you very much and I wish you all the best.

Dear Jeff;

your package arrived safely here in Texas today. The easels are as good as the originals I have had for a time.

Thank you very much for the fine workmanship and the expeditious handling of the order.

Cheers,
Peter

Dear Jeff,

The easel arrived safe and sound this morning .
It is a beautiful artifact . well packed with terrific instructions
and the
timber is superb - I'll have to stop as I'm running out of superlatives.

Many , many thanks.

Merry Christmas to you too and I hope that we can do business
again at some future date.

Regards

Patrick M. - Patrick ordered an ABKL1800 easel in Red Australian Hardwood.

Hi Jeff ... thought I would let you know that my easel arrived safe and
sound today... although ... the poor little courier guy nearly burst a few
valves carrying it up the stairs. It sure is a solid sturdy easel.

I didn't get a chance to put it together myself. My future son - in law
pounced on it and assembled it for me ... and did a good job of it too. ( I
had no trouble finding the glue)

Anyhow... I would like to say that it is a truly beautiful easel. Thank you.
It is everything that I imagined and more. I love it... and so do the
cats... grrrrr. They think every new thing that arrives in this house is
theirs. Typical cats. gotta love em. ( They had heaps of fun with the bubble
wrap too.)

Well ... if I hear of anyone considering purchasing a good quality easel I
will most certainly be letting them know about your work.

Thanks again. Sincerely ... Kath Hulowatyi - Kath ordered a H frame in Red Hardwood which is very heavy!!!!!!!!!

Jeff,

Many thanks for the easel, I received it on Wednesday night and put it
together last night. The first thing I noticed with the easel components
was that they were very solid, and beautifully crafted.

I got the easel together no worries after some initial problems due to
my own shortage of handy skills. The easel is very functional and easy
to use.
The easel is very sturdy and will serve me well for many years to come.

I would also like to thank you Jeff for personally customizing my
HBH1800mm to take canvases up to 2000mm in height which was very
important in the selection of my easel.

In itself the easel is a beautifully constructed design and would
recommend it to anyone who requires a hard wearing, and functional
easel.

Good work mate, ill be coming to you for my custom super easel in a few
years!

From: Hugh Walker - Melbourne. - Hugh ordered a Standard H Frame with wedge mounts and a longer centre shaft.

Dear Jeff,

Easel arrived today and assembled beautifully.
Thank you for for doing such a great job and for being
so professional. The easel looks wonderful - I can't
wait to get started on it.

All the best with future sales and your own art
practice,
Kynan. Kynan from Castlemaine ordered a Spotted Gum Centre slide easel.(HSSG1600)

Dear Jeff,

The easels arrive late this afternoon, safe and sound! They are exactly
what I was hoping for - I will be using them to display two pieces of art
which I have purchased from two local artists here in Adelaide. Your
craftsmanship is divine and I love the colour and tones of the Spotted Gum.
They will be a perfect accompaniment to my two pieces.

Once I get settled in Melbourne, and unpack all my chattels, I'll take some
photographs with the art and easels together, and e-mail to you.

I look forward to enjoying them both for many, many years to come.

With kind regards,

Simon - Simon purchased two fully folding Spotted Gum easels.

Hello Jeff,

This is to thank you very much for your beautiful easels! I was away on
leave when they arrived in January and have been distracted with other
things.

Last Sunday we used them for the first time for our Family Day outside
in the park, the first of this monthly event.
They were a pleasure to use. Most of the artists were children and the
sliding adjustable height was wonderfully user-friendly, and low enough
for the smallest child.
We were surprised at how many kids went for the easel painting, but I
reckon beautiful equipment inspires confidence. I think I'll have to buy
one myself.

Thanks again!
Kind regards,

MaryRose

Hi Jeff,

Easel has arrived and am very happy with it. Our wedding album looks
really great on it and I love the combination of the Blackbutt and
turpentine

Also got your phone message, was nice to see the easel on your website
so thanks for that.

Thanks for your time and workmanship

Hi Jeff

Just a quick one as have to rush out
Easel arrived yesterday
But only now had time to assemble it
(no glue yet)
It really is a terrific design
Being able to adjust the working height so easily
Tilt the canvas forward and back
The tray and canvas rest great distance
And no tap dancing with feet.
Great weight but easy to maneuver
Cube locking knobs
And in jarrah

Thanks so much for your talent

Best regards

Philip - Phillip bought a HCJ1600 which is a counterweighted Jarrah H frame.

HI Jeff,,
You may recall that I purchased your last "H" frame easel (sanded but unfinished) on Tuesday 20/9/05 just as you were about to move out of the Hampton Street residence. I bought it for my wife's birthday on the following day. I oiled it with Olive oil. She was thrilled to receive it and is so pleased with its sturdiness and beautiful craftsmanship. I was also most impressed as I am also an artist - I paint aircraft and I'm the President of the Australian Society of Aviation Artists. I am also the Editor of the Newsletter and I was very pleased to include an article on your easels in this newsletter. I will be posting a copy to you tomorrow and I hope that you enjoy it.
Cheers
Brian Evans

Dear Jeff,

I sat around admiring the magnificent craftsmanship of just the pieces of wood today, wonderfully shaped and sanded. My husband was out working and I had to wait for him to pick up the glue that you had recommended. When he arrived home with the tradesman glue he assembled your wonderful piece of art as I did not trust myself with stronger-than-a-glue-stick glue combined with screwdriver. Watching it being put together I am confident that when I buy another easel I wont be waiting for my husband, amidst his admiring comments on how well your easel was made I was content that I had made a great decision to order one from you.

I loved the personal touch that had been lacking in the hundreds of easels in numerous art stores that I had searched, I loved that you signed it and that it still had sawdust in the screw holes. I am a fan forever, Jeff, you surely know your craft. The cube knobs are a great touch.

I am amazed at how beautiful it looks, thank you for superseding my expectations. I will be sure to recommend you to every artist I know.

Kind Regards
Hana Kemp (a fan forever)

hi jeff,

i just wanted to say thank you a million for your great easel.
i have just finished my first master piece (well it is definitely
different than all the others) and still got paint on my hands, but
thought it more important to send you this message :)
thanks to you it was so much easier, and my back doesn't hurt for once :)
i haven't had much time to paint recently, but i still "visited" my easel
most days to say hello.
it is such a beautiful thing to have and i cant rave enough about it -
even to people who don't paint :)
many thanks jeff.

hope the packing/moving isn't too stressful

Comment from Jeff: I moved to Mt Eliza on 22 September 2005 it was an experience I do not want to repeat in a hurry.

Dear Jeff,

Just to let you know the new easel is great and had a fair workout last weekend.

Thank you again so much for making it quickly.

kind regards

Vicky

ps My next exhibition opens at Lynne Wilton gallery (High st Armadale) on Tuesday 14
November 6-8 pm and runs for 12days.

This is from Vicky Watts, she owned a HCH1600 and needed a FFH600 at short notice, and I was able to do it for her. Vicky also ordered a HCH2000

Hi Jeff,

Thank you so much for the quick turn around, quality product and for
something that is getting rarer by the day - personal service.

I ordered an FF600 in Jarrah as an anniversary present for my wife, but
like most people, I left it to the last minute. With a week to spare, I
made contact to enquire about availability among other finer product
details. Despite not having any stock available, so comfortable was I
with your service and expertise that I placed an order the following day
to have it specially made. A week later, a freshly-made easel had
arrived in Sydney from Victoria snugly packed in bubble-wrap. It
assembled in less than 5 minutes with no issues and then I stood back to
admire the craftsmanship. Brilliant work.

The web site made the ordering process simple as most details are already
available there. Plus, it provided useful information about the other
models as well as maintenance tips. If I were to buy another easel, I'd
certainly know who to call (though judging by how sturdy this one is
built, it's going to be a while before it will need to be replaced). I
have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your product to anyone.

Many thanks from yet another happy customer.

Kind Regards,
Robert D Ma

.Dear Jeff, Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...It has already been put to work and I am very happy with the result of your easel). I will have no hesitation in placing orders with you in the future and will definitely recommend you to my fellow students at art school. Thanks again. Your craftsmanship is beautiful. Regards

Your instructions were excellent. I am very pleased with my oregon A-frame
which is now installed under a north facing opening roof...luxury.

Jeff,
The easels are wonderful! How very cool and well made. It took me a second to figure out your instructions, but once I did, it was quite easy. I’am going to email my other art friends your web site. Thanks again for the beautiful easels. Maybe when I sell enough portraits to rich people, I’ll be able to afford your more expensive ones. In the meantime I’am quite pleased!

Dear Jeff,

I picked up my easel from the post office today, and all I can say is what a
work of art. It's absolutely gorgeous. I love the craftsmanship that went
into it. The design is absolutely fantastic; it's so easy to switch from
vertical to horizontal; it was so easy to put together, and I love all the
different ways to configure it. In short I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for
such great service too. I can't believe how quickly it got here. Take care.

Jacqueline -----------Jaqueline ordered a MP horizontal to vertical studio easel with tilt tray.

"The easel I purchased from Jeff Lacey is of the highest quality. It is
very stable and secure, and all the parts fit well together. I had been
looking for a while to buy an easel but hadn't been able to find one in the
shops which were up to my standards. I am very happy with the price I paid
and the advice given to me regarding maintenance".

Linda U. of Melbourne

Hi

Just wanted to let you know the easel arrived safely and is very much
appreciated. In fact it is being used as I type this. It is a lovely easel,
a work of art in its own right.

Thanks very much.

Michelle

Hi Jeff,

A few years back you filled an order for 17 easels for use in our studio here at
Canberra Museum and Gallery. We wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with
the easels you made. They have really had a battering over the past 3 years and
have stood up beautifully. They look (almost) as good as new and we have had no
structural problems with them at all. We use them regularly with our preschool
groups and have never had any problems with them collapsing, even when the kids
give them a good tug. They are easy to clean and look great.

We wanted to thank you for providing such a high quality product. Definitely worth
the investment!
