Folding Version 1.0  Size 16x16cm

Design & Development by by me  :)

 

Basicly a  full 30x27cm dark  1mm Card Board 

 

4cm Frame size with white marks in 5cm distance

 

Primely for Landscape work aswell with  a 1/2 turn mulitple purpose , in Portraitpainting :)

 

Funktion : Folding  to 16x16 cm is a suiteable carrying size.

Texture Tape ( Icehockey Tape is perfect) is used as floating hinge to flip  the strips .

Do keep the strips together , small clamps with rubber bands safen it.

Open Up the 2 frame-parts and the clamps hold it in size you choose.

Its sturdy easy to build and sometime useful @Plein Air painting , if you like fast set a leadpencile frame on your Watercolorpaper and use constand papersizes up to  34x31cm then place marks on outbounds for  Golden Ratio :).

Size Extreme 34 x31

 

Why 2 Parts + clamps ?

 

The give you the freedom of sizing the frame in same manner you use papersize up to 34x31cm ,one frame-part has the possibility to use as a outdoor ruler or even you need just a straight line.

 

Clamps are the smallest one and belong to hold the 2 Frame - parts together . In case of emergency there are to left .... :)

Size 40x24cm

DIY upgrade

40cm x 2,5cm x 0,5 cm Balsa wood strip mount on Björn. Angle adjust : Plastic textil ribbon , no flex!

 2xDrillholes 1 drilled down to tighten the Ribbon , 2 Woodhole &Textil ribbon no spezial fixition needed , fits tight. Angle from 1--45 degree

Why i use this .. I use a big large Drawing Bord on that aswell , so i can go all my small board sizes on this backup and the large ones.

The nifty thing is  it´s folds together in second and store away by size 40x24cm nearly flat and the cutouts reduce wight.. .so can travel with easy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fit the Angle .. just use one of the free apps for your phone / tablett....pull the Ribbon slightly . done .

Mainly i use this on plein air work to level the easle if needed.

 

Ps.: to the right you see my wash board
