Here’s an easel for my neighbor. She needed it for school. She only wanted to use construction lumber to save money so it’s just screwed together. The bottom crossbar is dadoed to fit over the legs and I did route a groove in top edge to hold markers. frame is just grooved to hold the marker board and screwed together. I did counter bore for carriage bolts to provide for the pivot. It’s made to fit a 4×8 sheet of markerboard ripped in two. It spins around so you can use both sides. There’s a simple wood pin to hold it in place.

I see where that would be handy to have in the shop. May have to build one for myself. Where did you find the marker board?

We use 1/8” white smooth finish paneling to replace them at our school. About $13-16 a sheet at Lowes and HD. It is not magnetic, and if you scratch it the dry erase marker will not erase, but the risk is worth the cost. We then usually frame them out in 1×4 and attach a tray at the bottom with some triangle brackets if we want to get super fancy.

Awesome, and your community of kids and teachers is now “richer’ for your work
Where I live in Ontario Canada, a province where the teachers, according to Govt., stats, are ruling out the pencil, in favour of “backslapping”....you passed “no matter what”, where teachers “Time Off” is measured in months, not weeks, where a teacher can start at 8:00 to 8:30 am and be done their day at 2:30 pm and that day starts with a 1 hour personal “lunch time” during their 6 1/2 hour shift and another “hour” to do prep work and have all health care costs paid in perpituity, an indexed pension and not one of them has the time to “coach” kids in extraciricular activities…...and can suck back 90 grand a year?
I’ld have to say that your contribution is outstanding and I mean that
