15 Minute Bamboo Easel

Here's an easel you can make from bamboo for virtually free! I built this in about 15 or 20 minutes, give or take.
It's a full-sized easel, and is surprisingly stable!

Step 1 Materials & Tools

You will need:

•  Bamboo (2 pieces that are roughly equal in diameter, 1 piece for the third leg, and at least one more piece for a support)
• short metal rod -- This is the 'hinge' (I pulled mine out of a broken fax machine, but anything will do)
• 2 screws
• String or hemp

Tools you may need:

• saw
• drill
• file
