I am sure that many of you would like to place an easel in your houses. I feel the same, maybe more in my case because drawing is an important part of my life. So, until the devs will place that easel we saw in Artaeum on the furnishings list, I opted for a DIY version
The good thing about this design is that it uses a very cheap and available woodworking blueprint:
Blueprint: Hlaalu Hanger, Mounted, which is about 200 gold on traders.
I recommend using an addon for precise placing and changing the angle precisely. The way I do it is to start the construction having the parts placed at 0/90/180 degrees relative to the coordinates of the house. After I am done, I link the components together and place the group as I want.
Here are two versions:
Type 1
The first uses 4 hangers:
here is an other angle:
Type 2
The 2nd design uses one more hanger, but looks better in my opinion. The front legs are tilted 5 degrees, and so the standing part. Only the back strut is perpendicular.
The upper hangers overlap at the base, right where each one has a nail. In order to prevent clipping, one is one coordinate lower and backwards than the other.
Back view with painting:
The painting is tilted 7 degrees.
I hope you will like my idea and find it useful!
