Actually, today, you’ll find me over on Ideas for the Home by Kenarry ™ sharing the full DIY tutorial on how to make these Painter’s Pyramid Stands. So we’ve told you all about Painters Pyramids, but do they really work in practical use? Yes! We have used them on many projects including this DIY China Cabinet Makeover and this painted sewing box. This is what the china cabinet looked like before the transformation:

Dauzats had traveled to Egypt as part of the entourage of arts impresario baron Isidore Taylor (1789–1879), who led a diplomatic mission to negotiate with Egypt’s ruler, Muhammad Ali (1769–1849), for the acquisition of the obelisks that then stood as a pair at the entrance to the Temple of Luxor; one of them would be installed at the center of the Place de la Concorde in Paris in October 1836. (For a view of the gate to the Temple of Luxor with its sole remaining obelisk painted in the same month, see the oil sketch by Antoine-Xavier-Gabriel de Gazeau, comte de La Bouëre, 2003.42.37). Dauzats and contemporaries who undertook similar journeys about the same time, including Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (Turkey, 1828), Prosper Marilhat (Egypt, 1831–32), and Eugène Delacroix (Morocco and Algeria, 1832), are generally credited with elevating Orientalist subjects as a popular genre, one that served as a filter through which Europeans visualized and indeed conceptualized the Muslim world for much of the nineteenth century.These DIY Painter’s Pyramid Stands have been an enormous time saver when working on projects that require painting both sides or even just the edges.

They have rounded points that minimize any marks. That’s so you can prop up your paint project, then you can flip it over almost immediately to paint the other side. It’s been a while since I’ve bragged on my husband and shared one of his ideas. You know, it’s really not quite fair that he does all the work and I get all the credit.

With a square, transpose the two centers to the sides of the rectangle so that you can use them as reference. Dimensions might be driven by the scraps available... You can finish it off by drilling a hole and driving a screw to see if you like the finished product.If you liked this DIY Painter’s Pyramid Stands idea, you might also like these other ideas on Ideas for the Home by Kenarry:

Little did I know when we started a new YouTube segment on our channel, called Tool Talk Tuesday, that I’d teach my husband something he didn’t know about Painters Pyramids! Today’s DIY Painter’s Pyramid Stands is another one of his ideas that I’m now taking credit for simply by the fact that I’m sharing the tutorial with you.

Especially if the efficiency eliminates annoyances or saves time. If it does both, it’s doubly good. DIY Painter’s Pyramid Stands Make Your Own Painter’s Pyramid Stands I like to make a prototype to see if I like the final result before making a whole bunch of something. I also come up with improvements or better ways of doing things during the prototyping. But you can skip this part.

I have marked a relative point, which I continued around the fir wood plank, so that I would see the sign on each side. I did the drawing with a good square so that there was no risk to appear any differences on the sides. I prepared the circular saw table with the guide at 45 degrees. Being careful that the wood plank has reached the right position of the blade, I marked a point on the sliding guide along the line on the plank.

If you like playing with Legos as a kid, or even now, you’ll have fun with this feature! The best part is that you won’t accidentally brush paint on your work surface because it raises your item off the table, like the shelf I’m painting below.Taking care that the two signs (the one on the plank and the one on the guide) are aligned, we made the first cut at 45 degrees. Then I turned the plank over the other three sides and cut it, taking care that the mark on the plank matches the one on the guide. Now I had a long plank with a pyramidal end.
