Building a Folding Flip Chart Easel Brushy Fork's own contribution to the secondary wood industry is a plan for a folding wooden flip chart easel.
Hardwood is recommended.
Two additional screws are set in the top crosspiece to hang the flip chart pad on. The lower set of bolts are removed to fold the easel, and reinserted in the uppermost holes to hold the legs in the closed position. The bolt should not be so tight as to cause the back leg to bind excessively. Note that the holes in the side legs must be drilled at an angle to allow insertion of the bolt. This may be accomplished by assembling the lower crosspiece to the A-frame, then holding the tops of all three legs in alignment and drilling them all at once.
