Holding work to your easel

[moose]

So as not to hy-jack a different thread.... Len I see that you use a steel sheet and magnets to hold your work. This is a good idea and makes it real easy to reposition your work and not worrying about tape sticking. On my set-up I have a sheet of steel covered by a pane of glass. The magnets I have are strong enough to hold thru the glass. I need to get a sheet of masenite to see if it will hold it and a shirt. or maybe something like coroplast may be lighter. For magnets I purchased several rare earth magnets off e-bay cheap. Only thing is I warn you if you go this route watch your fingers they can ge t pinched between magnets if not careful. I had some cintrasign borad 12X18 and one magnet held it fine. I placed it inside a sweat shirt and using 4 of the magnets it also held. Will make it saey to hold templetes in place!

Hey Moose!! If those magnets are too strong for ya, go to the hobby lobby and look for those little ones I use. They are not as strong as those earth ones you are using, but they do have some power to them!

the only bad thing for shirts is most of my paint goes through...

Now if you had the masonite shirt board with a piece of that steel sheet that with work with stencils that you are doing.You would not have to use spray adhesive on the stencils then.Really good idea.
