Repurposing an old paintbox

My friend and neighbor gave me an old paint box that was missing a few screws.

french easel modified to hang on a wall with canvas backdrop

I decided to take the easel part from the reat of the box, then mount it on my wall… Yhat way i get adjustable easel features, without legs taking a lot of prexious space in my studio.

The easel can hold a pretty large canvas for example, this 28“ tall canvas fits with room for even larger! (pay no attention to the unfinished painting on the wall)
