These boards should be easy enough to make. Just get some 1/2 inch pine boards and use a router tool to create grooves around the outside. Then find some plastic rods the same diameter of your grooves.
Why can't paper manufacturers produce stretched paper? cost? These processes take half the fun out of watercolour painting. However I wish the product success.
Nice idea, but it just seems a lot easier to use tape. i'm not reaching the point where I need something so complicated as this. I'm a novice. Tape is fine for me. But this looks like a very nice and useful stretcher.
@blackberrybunny I use Homasote board and staples. Works great. I just wish you didn't have to stretch it at all. I'd paint so much more if i didn't have to.
Would love one. But alas they don't sell them in the USA and the cost of postage from the UK is prohibitive. Why not market it via Dick Blick or Jerry's Artarama or something similar?
Looks similar to the Zipp Clamp stretcher made here in Canada.
I've made a couple small panels, a la Perfect Paper Stretcher, to try them out top see how well it works. I like that there is no perimeter frame to bump your hand against or to interfere with poured washes.
looks brilliant. I've always wondered if ironing the paper dry would work. I am not having much luck with paper stretching! Grrrr...

These seem to work well but are sold at a ridiculous price. Cheaper to buy a board and router and make your own.
