Hughes Easel is here.

Got my Hughes 4000 easel in its new home today. It's an incredible easel! Look forward to working with it.
Very high quality workmanship by Don Andrews in Punta Gorda, FL. 
    Mine is a Hughes 4000 made from walnut. Check out his easels at http://www.hugheseasels.com 
Don is an excellent craftsman and designer. Very nice to have been able to meet and talk to him in his shop. He goes way above and beyond to make these easels the best. 

3 pieces to assemble. 

(I have a 4' x 8' white board for dry erase markers. Still need to stain the wood trim and finish the area above it by the a/c vent.)


Casters on. 


Final assembly. 



Makes my other easel look tiny even though it is 6' tall. The new easel makes me want an even taller ceiling. Although it's fine for pretty much of anything up to a 5' tall painting. The Hughes easel will hold up to a 6' tall canvas that I could have the bottom of the canvas at eye level when standing if I had the extra ceiling height.
