1. Purchase three 2.4 m (7.9 ft) long, 7 cm (0.23 ft) wide, and 2 cm (0.79 in) thick pieces of wood. 2. Any wood works, but pine is best.
1. Measure and cut wood into five pieces. Mark lengths with a tape measure, then secure it on a stable surface. 2. Cut wood with a hand or power saw to these lengths: - 2 pieces at 1.8 m (5.9 ft) (main legs) - 1 piece at 1.5 m (4.9 ft) (back leg) - 1 piece at 68 cm (27 in) (long cross piece) - 1 piece at 23 cm (9.1 in) (short cross piece) Always follow safety precautions when using a saw.
Create an "A" shape with the two 1.8 m pieces of wood as the sides and position the 68 cm piece as the horizontal center line.
1. Attach the 68 cm (27 in) piece to the 1.8 m (5.9 ft) piece with screws. 2. Secure with three screws on each side or use a hammer and nails. 3. If you don't want to finish, lean the "A"-shaped frame against a wall. 4. Ensure a stable surface before drilling.
1. Place the 23 cm piece on top of the "A." 2. Flip the "A" frame, attach the 23 cm piece with a drill or hammer. 3. Carefully flip the frame to avoid damage or loosening screws.
1. Attach hinge, secure 1.5m piece below. 2. Install hinge in the center of the 23cm piece, slide 1.5m piece underneath, screw in place. 3. Hinge connects easel's back leg to frame.
1. Drill holes in the center of the back leg and the 68 cm (27 in) piece. 2. Set the easel upright, thread the rope through wider holes, tie knots, and trim excess. 3. The rope reinforces the easel's back leg. 4. Drill while holding the back leg against the horizontal piece for efficient hole creation.
"1. Make 1.5 cm gaps in the frame for dowel holes. 2. Drill holes every 1.5 cm, starting with the 68 cm horizontal bar. Ensure a snug fit for the dowel. 3. Dowel holes allow for adjustable easel support."
1. Insert dowel through holes, top with cross-member. 2. Apply force to secure dowel. Cross-member supports canvas. 3. Optionally use varied-sized cross-members for each hole.
"1. Place easel on two legs. 2. Adjust tilt and canvas height by positioning back leg and moving dowel."
