RR Beard 12x16 easel paper stopper replacement

[bence8810]

Hello all,

I have a RR Beard 12x16 2bladed easel which I recently bought and it came without paper stoppers.

Please see the photo below for reference, i am looking for the two metal strips that stop the paper at the desired position - creating the white boarder along the edges.

Do you know where I could get these?

Thanks,
Ben

I have one of these type of easels but regretfully I can't make a suggestion where to get new one and am surprised to see it being sold without them?!? But, what came to mind straightaway, so not sure if it will work or is even possible without trying, but as a temporary fix, some cut lengths of mounting board may be about the right thickness?

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the reply, I already have a temporary solution in place but would really prefer to have the original ones. I got a lead through PM and following up on it.

Thanks again,
Ben

I have 2 of these easels in different sizes. Good choice! I think the stops would be about the same thickness as a steel ruler (except the stops are made of aluminium). It would not be difficult to have something fabricated by a metal workshop from aluminium sheet with a right angle fold made in the top (as per the original). It's the kind of thing that my local blacksmith would do for about £10. RR Beard is now called Photon Beard and seems to only sell lighting products now but here is their webpage: http://www.photonbeard.com/about-us.html

I could supply the dimensions of a stop from my 12x16 easel if that is any help.

Svenedin, thanks a lot!

Yes I knew their new name and I’ve already sent an email yesterday, waiting for their response. Hopefully they’ll find some loose parts.

If not, I will ask you to kindly measure your stoppers, thanks a lot for coming forward with the offer!

Good day,
Ben
