Step 2Measure Twice, Cut Once
Determine how big your easel needs to be. If you're using a frame, don't use the number they give you, that's just the glass. Measure the actual width of the entire frame. I suggest making the actual easel slightly larger than you need. The height doesn't matter much. Draw a line for the width.
Next you have to decide where to put the brackets. I put one 8 inches up on either side, and two on the bottom, each 5 inches from the center. Use your square to align them and mark two screw holes for each one.
At this point you can cut out your wood. I also cut a 2 inch strip of wood to use as a ledge on the bottom.
It goes without saying to observe all safety standards when using power tools.
