How To Build A Table Top Easel That Folds Up!!
This Woodworking project was a necessity for me. I've been needing a Table Top Easel for a while now. This easel is made out of simple pre-sanded 1x2s. Out of all the table top easels I've made over the years, this one is now my favorite with all the functionality and compact design. If you have any questions about this table top easel, it's design, or the build, please let me know. This isn't the easiest or quickest woodworking project, but it was fun figuring out all the aspects to the design and I enjoyed doing it.
I apologize for the glitches here and there in the video; the computer corrupted my first batch of recordings. I replaced most of them, but I apparently missed a few here and there.

NOTE: I bought my items in bulk for future projects, but they are available in smaller packages.

Great to see that I can purchase these plans. Unfortunately I don't have a PayPal account. Is there another way to purchase your plans? Credit card?

I can't remember exactly. I always buy a variety pack of both and use what feels right for the project. there should be links to both in the description.
Excellent!!!
Instead of cutting grooves for the 3/8 down to rest in I used short pieces of my excess 3/8 dowel to put pegs in place for the lateral 3/8 down to rest against it seemed to work fine

Idk How I end up here? xd I´m Mexican... But I really enjoyed the video. It's easy to understand and I like that pretty much of the parts could be pre-cut because I don´t have certain tools at home c: I hope your channel grow uwu Btw Sorry If I made mistakes, my english skills have a lot to improve

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on a large floor easel also, video soon to come.
I would love to build this for myself but I don’t have the tools to make the cuts. Do you have a list of all the cuts so I can have someone do them for me?
