For making the easel parts we recommend using some local wood, that is easy to deal with and has a popular price and for the finish use the paint, wax or lacquer. If you plan to use the easel for painting or drawing, do not spent much of your time to select wood or the finish, because soon it will be stained by different colors. If you plan to use it as a display, then it would be good to select some wood with a beautiful texture, and the finish should highlight the beauty of the wood.

H frame folding tabletop easel plan An easel made by this plan has the option to regulate the inclination of the working surface during painting. The canvas top retainer can be moved along the mast, so this easel could hold canvas of the various dimensions. This easel is suitable for small apartments and studios because it is folding, so it can be folded and put away when not in use. Besides that, while working with it, an easel is on the table, so it takes much less space than conventional easels, whose legs stands directly on the floor. This is the H-frame type of easel, as it has a rectangular silhouette and a solid rectangular base. Just like the Single mast tabletop easel, this easel can be also used as a portable display easel at home, in the office, trade shows ili showrooms, and you can use it even as a display stand in the gallery, restaurant, for a catalogue of your products, etc. Geometry of the parts is simple and the joints between them are made with dowels and round tenon and mortise woodworking joints. Easel is being assembled with glue. The parts need to be sanded before applying glue and the edges should be rounded. For making the easel parts we recommend using some local wood, that is easy to deal with and has a popular price and for the finish use the paint, wax or lacquer.

Assemblage Instructions Make the components as given on pictures. 1. Join the Draft Frontal (item 5), Lower Toggle (item 6) and Upper Toggle (item 7) together using

Pins - 6x40 mm (item 13) with glue. Put some glue on every pin before joining the items. Be careful with glue dosage, because too much glue could come out from the holes and smear the surface of an object.

2. Push the Cilindrical Frontal (item 4) into holes (width 35, 5 mm (1,4 inches)) on the base of the construction.

3. Join the previously made base construction with Lower Paw (item 1), Lower Horizontal (item 2) and Lower Paw Mirror (item 3) using Pins – 6x40 mm (item 13). Put some glue on every pin before joining. The result of this procedure should be exact as on picture.

5. Fix the construction’s base (made in step 3) to the construction of easel (made in step 4) with Nut 10 (item 14), Washer 10 mm (item 18) and Cup Head Bolt M10x25 (item 19). Note that we choose this kind of joining, assuming that the inclining angle will not be frequently changed. Nevertheless, this kind of joining can be done in many different ways, so an easel will be adjusted to your needs.

6. Join the Main Slider (item 11) to previously made construction (step 5) with Pins 6x40 (item 13). Put some glue on pins before joining the parts.
