Art Easel Plan - Revsed 2023. This PDF is a 28-page ebook of instructions (with pictures and diagrams in imperial (US) measurements) on how to build an adjustable, professional, wood easel that can support a small to large canvas or board. It also has a movable shelf for paints, brushes, rags, pallet, medium, drink, and who knows what else. The simple design uses standard dimensional lumber that makes it easy to build, and very affordable. Depending on your choice of lumber (oak, fir, pine) the cost of materials can be very minimal. Included is a list of tools, a materials list, and a lumber cut list to make your job as easy as possible. If you have limited tools and limited workspace, all the pieces can be cut at your local building supply store from standard dimension lumber.
Your finished easel will be a beautiful piece of wood furniture that will help you to create your own art masterpieces. If you ever want to put it away it will fold up to fit in a closet or under a bed.

This plan was revised in 2023 to give another option in place of wood flooring.

Another happy customer:

I just finished building an easel from your plans. I used 4/4 cherry, plugged screws, and brass hardware. My wife is ecstatic but is afraid to get paint all over it.
Your plans were very clear and easy to follow.
Here's an album of the easel.

Thanks again, Sam

Built this easel from CoastPainter's plans. Build was straight forward and the plans worked out great. Print the plans in color to help you see where everything goes, get a little wax for the sliding parts, watch which way you install the hinges and everything will work perfectly. I would rank this as an intermediate woodworking project.
Given that the wife cried when she got it for Xmas, I would suggest this to any woodworker with a painter in the family!
Thanks,
Tim
