Painter's Pyramids work much like a board studded with nails, but unlike nailboards, they can be rearranged quickly for various projects, they won't leave prick marks in the surface, and they nest into a neat, compact stack for storage. This new, improved version features screw tabs for securing the pyramids when using lazy susans and other finishing fixtures. In addition, they feature a locking tab so you can “chain” or “nest” the pyramids together to create a stable surface and distribute the weight over a broader area. Molded with a slightly rounded tip from a non-stick, non-reactive polymer, they will not mar the finish or the wood. Each pyramid supports up to 200 lbs and stands about 2" high. Sold in packs of 10.
- New tabs allow you to nail or screw the pyramids to a fixed surface.
- New interlocking feature allows you to chain or nest the pyramids together, creating a firm foundation and more even distribution of weight.
- Lightweight and compact — perfect for jobsite use.
- Holes allow easy grip.
- Can be fastened to a sawhorse by passing a strap through the holes.
- Holes makes a convenient parking space for small craft brushes.
- Non-stick, non-reactive, non-marring.
- Impermeable to paint and solvents.
- Each triangular face measures 2-3/8" x 2-3/8" x 2-3/8".
Note: Though the tip is slightly rounded, Painter's Pyramids may leave slight dimples in the surface when used with very soft woods and/or heavy projects. Use discretion in these instances.

I actually have the original painters pyramids without the tab, but even they are great. They elevate your project so that you can finish it without having to wait for it to dry before turning it to do the sides/bottom. I used them for finishing a pro audio rack and they worked great. Having the tabs would have only made them better in helping prevent the pyramid from tipping when lateral force is applied. The only caution I would suggest is that when working with heavier objects, make sure to use more pyramids to prevent the points from leaving dents in your project.

Not actually used yet, but I can see the quality and usefulness that lead me to order them.

They are good when in contact with bottom or concealed surfaces. However, they do dent the wood as I found out with cherry the hard way.

I do like the pyramids, nice compact tool, but,be careful when using softer woods as they will dent the wood. My last two projects were made of cedar and pine, one weighed about 20 lbs 4 pyramids and the other weighed less than a pound 4 pyramids and they both dented. I have not used the pyramids on harder woods such as walnut but I will give it a try on a piece of scrap wood.

I experienced a problem with denting the base of a cherry plywood bookcase when I supported it during final finishing on 5 pyramids. The points are too sharp and can generate very high prssures with a heavy piece.

These seemed much better than using nails driven through scrap pieces of wood so put them on my Christmas list. Wish I'd read the reviews as I too found it dented my maple panel on a box project. You'd think the Maple would of been hard enough but I wiped down the oil while the project was sitting on the pyramids - won't do that again!

I have been using painter pyramids for around 4 or 6 years, ever since they came out. My old ones are great. These new ones dent your wood. My table tops weigh between 5 lbs and 15 lbs depending on which size I am making. I use the pyramids only when spray finishing so it's not like I am putting any pressure on the top when they are on the pyramids. With these new pyramids I had dents in the three tops I was making 1 at 15 lbs and 2 at 5 lbs. With my original pyramids I do not have that problem. My old pyramids and the new ones are made by the same company. Not sure why the new ones dent and the old ones do not except that the tip on the new ones are a little different and the plastic seems different then the old ones. Guess I will go back to using finishing nails in scrap wood or Styrofoam.
