Artist Easel Woodworking Plans

An artist easel can be as simple as three legs and a crossbar or a large studio easel made to support large and heavy canvases. Whether you choose a simple folding tripod or a massive studio piece, you can save money and build an easel to suit your needs with our free artist easel plans.

Simple folding tripods can be made in a few hours, while a major studio easel can take a weekend. Use clear pine or hardwood and stain or seal with urethane. Make a child-sized easel or double-sided drawing board for the playroom. Our easel plans are easy to adapt to the room and the size of the artwork. Most of these plans are collapsible and portable, making them easy to store. The plans, tips, and material lists that accompany these plans make them a perfect project for beginning woodworkers.
