Here is the first draft of the child’s easel that I am planning on building for my godson. It is a basic design. I am still thinking about the art supply storage bin. I am leaning toward building a tray below the art drawing board. May putting a little bit of a lip around it so that it hold the pencils, crayons, markers, water color paints, etc. I am considering a lip height between 2 to 3 1/2 inches.

I need to find a supplier for the ‘locking arms’ that will be mounted on either side of the easel to keep it locked open. What I am looking for is the same / similar device that is used on a step ladder to keep it locked open. Hopefully I can find it in one of the local home improvement stores. So, what do you think of the rough draft of the plan? Feel free to leave comments about the plan, improvements, and suggestions.
