A simple stand/easel to display a flat 2.5" to 5" piece

The design assumes 1/16" material, but you can adjust the slot width to equal the material thickness, and the tab depth (between body and hook). Kerf adjustment probably not required.

Nice design - thanks for the share!

That’s neat. I like the snap in portion.

Thanks for the share. I like these kind that don’t ‘come apart’ accidentally!!

Thanks for the share!

Thank you!

I really like that you rounded the upper point and the front points. Nicely done!

[grottfam]

Looks like a great design. Thank you so much for sharing!

[techquest89]

That’s dope!

Yeah nice trick with the snap in. You rarely see people using those tricks anymore.

Here’s a very small easel design:

Tiny easel

Does what it says on the tin. [image] [image] PG medium acrylic. Adjust slots as needed to get a snug fit. Wee teeth on the “ledge” to hang onto whatever you’re easeling. Just beware, this is designed for curved/round things. The ledge will cause flat things (like a rectangular piece) to slip right off. For flat things like that you should probably design something with “hooks” to catch the art. [easel_free]

Kerf-care-free, I like it!

[ellencadwell]

I missed this one somehow. Thanks for re-sharing it.

[bwente]

Me too! I like the little teeth.

I just came across this older post from @gmallard, which is way cooler than mine:

Book Holder with Living Hinges

Here is my latest design of a book holder made of 1/8" thick plywood. [BookHolder1] [BookHolder2] [BookHolder3] A tip is to arrange the cut order to cut the hinges first then the outer cut. I have the two sections color coded to make this easier. BookHolder.ai (1.4 MB) BookHolder.pdf (562.9 KB)
