Child's Art Easel
|
This
piece was commissioned for a birthday gift for a 2-year old child.
While the legs are each 52" long, as erected, the resulting "A-Frame" has an
overall height of 50". Each work surface (approx. 24" square) can be
set to any one of three heights in 6" steps (shown here at the lowest which
is 30" from the floor to the center of the surface). The surface shown
is a "dry-erase" white board primarily intended for the attachment of paper
(with tape or spring clips) for Tempra painting. Hence the six paint
cups shown. |
| The opposite work
surface is a black board with a sheet steel surface allowing the usual chalk
for drawing and writing and magnetic characters. Also, magnetic clips
and hooks can be use on this surface to hang pictures or whatever. |

The chalk tray (approx. 4" front-to-back and 2 1/2" high) is made of Maple
on the front and back with Mahogany ends and fabricated with box joints
(a.k.a. "finger joints). The type of joint was selected for its
strength and the woods were selected for the bright color contrast in the
corners to catch the child's artist eye. Because this easel is
intended for a young child even though it is foldable it locks open with
rigid swing arms backed by safety chains. |

In this photo one can
see the arm locked in its storage position where it won't swing around while
moving the easel to storage once it is folded. Size:
Approx. 24 inches wide
Approx. 30 1/2 inches deep
Approx. 50 inches high |
