Repurposed table easel

Removed the handle and installed it on the opposite side. Installed a pair of garment hooks on the side where the handle was.

The easel hooks onto the tripod. Make sure that the rear leg is shorter than the front ones. This will balance the unit and take the weight of the box off the front legs.

This should give the same storage space as a half french easel with less weight and set up hassle.
