Dear Mr. Olson, Thank you for doing this video on how to make an easel. I've always wanted to make something out of wood and my latest need was an easel. Your clarity and simple approach helped me make this a reality. I feel great that I made this for myself. Thanks again for your help! Susanne Jantsch

and this video clip will be installing our paint trays. Our paint trays are located towards the bottom of our easel and we're going to take some bolts and we're going to bolt it on which is going to hold it there. First we need to mark our hole locations so you want to align your paint tray, where you want it to go, and I'm going to mark my hole in the center of the slots, that way when I put it all together I can still adjust it a little bit back and forth if I choose to do that. Next I'm going to drill each of those holes all the way through. After that I'm going to go ahead and slip one of my bolts through to see how well that fits. And another one on the other side. And that looks pretty good so I'm going to go ahead and put the nuts and the washers on the back side of it now. Continue with that same procedure for the other side.
