Making a Simple Mahl Stick Easel Attachment
Hiya guys, this here is the second part of the improvements I did for my easel recently, focusing on making the 'Mahl Stick' this time. (Check out the first part at 'Making a Simple Shelf Addition for Easel'). I've used a traditional mahl stick in the past with the padded end covered with fabric, but having to hold it in one hand while anchoring it to the easel or artwork while I worked (not ideal) was really restrictive and just made the whole process awkward and uncomfortable.. Needless to say I hardly ever used one..
