There are two pieces of plexiglass that provide a "shelf". One fits inside the flap that you see on the front of the field easel and the other is a small stip of plexiglass with Velcro (hook and loop fabric) at both ends that attached to the hook and loop squares under the flap and a corresponding piece of hook and loop fabric on the face of the bag under the flap.

I mean, in the photo whit your husband, there is no tripod, but the board is still horizontal. How did you get that? I really love it!<br />Many many thanks!<br /><br />CorinnaCorinnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018928183520561328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211885393474641095.post-64329891747673862862021-02-09T17:43:30.919-05:002021-02-09T17:43:30.919-05:00I love my field bag too,this a great alteration. ...I love my field bag too,this a great alteration.

Thanks for sharing with me. I decided ...Hi Susan,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing with me. I decided to go ahead with my purchase. It seems to fit the bill precisely to what I need. Time will tell if it holds up well, but even if it doesn't I can always repair bits and pieces if need be. I purchased the grey one. I think I will add my logo patch to the front of it too. I'll probably get the cocoon grid it organiser later on but for now I'll probably just add a bit of perspex (plexiglass to Americans). Thanks for the info about sketchbook sizes too. I'll probably use it with my A5 sketchbook... possibly also with my small watercolour blocks. <br /><br />Thanks again!<br />LauraDefeatedStar446https://www.blogger.com/profile/11050235466886099121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211885393474641095.post-62795304924356442342018-01-29T08:43:26.421-05:002018-01-29T08:43:26.421-05:00Laura...........I wish I could give you a good ans...Laura...........I wish I could give you a good answer to that. Mine is still like new. I've taken it out with me several times but I have different bag set-ups depending on what size journal I want to take out with me. I tend to grab a smaller one because of the weight when full. If I carry a medium size journal or sketchbook (like a 5 x 7) I'd take the Darsie. Most of the time when I go out, I'm using a 3.5 x 5.5 size so the Darsie is bigger than I need. The bigger a bag is the more I feel I have to shove in it and my shoulder rebels.........LOL<br /><br />No strings are pulling and the canvas material on my bag has no worn spots. Zippers are still in great shape. Even the handle (not the shoulder strap) is in great shape......no stress signs from the weight I tend to pack in my bag. If I were to use this everyday or each time I go out, I'm not sure. To me these bags are made of good quality or at least were back when I purchased mine. Hopefully they are still the same today.<br /><br />Wish I could have been more help to you on this.Susan Bronsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446892704691993619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211885393474641095.post-57935498996864092482018-01-29T01:56:00.852-05:002018-01-29T01:56:00.852-05:00Hi there,

I'm looking at purchasing one but I live in New Zealand and so I want to make sure it is worth the money :)<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Laura<br /><br />DefeatedStar446https://www.blogger.com/profile/11050235466886099121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211885393474641095.post-41130073308040857742018-01-01T00:11:24.920-05:002018-01-01T00:11:24.920-05:00Lee Ann...........I believe this is the one: http...Lee Ann...........I believe this is the one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HU9LJC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1<br /><br />:-)Susan Bronsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446892704691993619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211885393474641095.post-5175978677586143612017-12-31T21:40:32.079-05:002017-12-31T21:40:32.079-05:00Hello.

I cut it to be just a smidgen below 7.5" x 12. The width cut enough to slide in that back pocket without causing stress to the stitching.
