For future outdoor work, I would like to be properly equipped and be able to perform in a manner befitting an audience. The idea: To be able to draw traditionally and digitally, sitting or standing. Not having to show my back to the audience, but being able to stream and show my content, for example from the Ipad, on a monitor to the front of the drawing desk.
Furthermore, deliberately create a communication framework with specific dimensions and zones. Designed and thought out for individual and group settings. But more about that later…
My old easel is unsuitable for my purposes and takes up far too much space.
Therefore, I had you already stored in pieces. In the first step, it was sawed and rearranged, because I convert you to the variable drawing desk.
However, I bought a new high-quality indexing pin with spring mechanism.
The old one is a toy and is not even installed in the prototype. Here is my version in stainless steel.
As a model serves me a Stokke children’s chair. I just call it a design classic. Following the design, I convert my old easel to a variable drawing desk.
Here in the rough carcass. Test times the desk in the same angle glued and pushed together. Space, or storage space is always an issue. Let’s leave the chair aside after this test. For the time being, the “new” drawing desk is the focus of further considerations. The tabletop should be height-adjustable and able to accommodate the most important utensils.
Since the old easel already offered a possibility to adjust the height, I use required elements of the predecessor easel and adapt the rest.
The height adjustable drawing board
From this point on, it simply goes off in freestyle on a first version of the drawing or tabletop. The frame conditions, by the previous easel, give many dimensions.
