Materials List for Sketch Easel
As promised, here's a materials list for putting together the sketch easel and the diffuser. These are all referenced in my new Gumroad video.
Sketch Easel
Materials
AmazonBasics 60-Inch Tripod
QB-4W quick release platform (square type for Velbon or Amazon tripod) (2)
Oak plywood 1/4 x 24 x 24
Southco adjustable torque hinge (3)
3/8" Sheet Metal Screws Stainless Steel (12)
1/4-20 x 5/16 x 3/4 Inch Tee Nuts (2)
Thumb Screws, 1/4-20 x 3/4-Inch (2)
Small brass hinge (1)
Nalgene jar (2-Ounce)
1/4 x 1/16-inch Neodymium magnets (17-20)
Spring clamps
Gorilla glue
Magic Sculpt 1 Lb. or Plumbers' epoxy putty
Wood stain
Tung oil finish
Metal watercolor set
Optional
Polyethylene coated (freezer) paper (For making an oil palette)
Friction lid support (optional, if you want to make a camera bar)
Tools
Drill Press, 10-Inch or handheld electric drill
Brad point dowel bit 1/4 inch or Forstner bits
High speed drill set—small drills for screw pilots and 5/16 Inch drill bit for T-nut.
Nail set or big nail.
Spade bit, 3/4 inch
4 inch belt sander (optional)
Sandpaper, 80 grit and 240 Grit
Circular saw with a plywood cutting blade
Electric jig saw
or a Hand saw and a Coping saw
Aluminum ruler
Phillips screw driver
Round (rat tail) file
Sharpie marker
Light diffuser
Kite option
Instead of buying the parts separately, you can buy a cheap white kite for $10.00.
It's 30 inches across, and includes the kite sticks, twill tape, and white rip stop nylon.
If you want to make the diffuser yourself, you'll need white rip stop nylon and a dressmaker's pencil,
2mm carbon fiber rods (for small diffuser) or .125" carbon fiber rod (for longer spans), plus a cross connector. You'll also need twill tape and access to a sewing machine.
Square diffuser
For the base that fits on the camera tripod:
1/2 in. x 2 in. x 4 ft. "appearance" board
QB-4W quick release platform (1)
1" sheet metal screw (4)
QB-4W quick release platform (1)
Trapezoid diffuser
For the base that fits on the sketch easel's gripper, you'll need to extract the hardware from a Helping hand magnifier tool
Aluminum frame diffuser
For the aluminum frame design, you'll need a: Aluminum hanging file folder frame (makes two diffusers)
Branch diffuser
For the branch diffuser, you'll need the white rip stop nylon and a branch with a flat growth habit. I used gray birch and let it cure a few months before I used it. I ran coated picture wire around the slotted tips of the branches before sewing the seams. You'll need a needle and thread because you can't machine sew the edge.
Artist's umbrella
If you do use a traditional artist's white umbrella, I've found the Jullian gives good light, but it does get damaged if it hits the ground too hard. To keep it from taking down your easel you can clamp it to a C-stand (century stand), which is heavy, but sturdy, and you'll use it for a lot of other uses.
