On Decorating Cents several weeks ago, Robb had constructed an easel using a wooden ironing board. Took me some time but found a board, but no one can figure out how to reconfigure the back to make this easel. Has anyone constructed this easel,and can give me instructions on how this is done? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
That was the DCT-1613 project. I saw that segment, and from what I remember is the following: You take everything (legs and any parts that attach them to back of ironing board)off the back in one piece, and attach it to the back upside down, so that when the ironing board is resting on the WIDE end (the narrow end is at the top), the legs will go OUT, BACK AWAY FROM IRONING BOARD , and rest on floor. Of course, you have to position it at angle you want, and attach a chain to back of ironing board, and to a center-like part of the legs to keep them positioned to where you want them, for the angle. Then attach a board, molding, whatever, to front of ironing board at whatever height you need it for picture, mirror, etc. Hope this has helped you.
