Over the years I have worked off many different kinds of easels. This one is my favorite. It is free standing and attached to the wall. I used to have one that hinged at the top but wanted something I could bring to a flat position. I love the freedom of movement with this easel.
My buddy Mark Jordan built this one for me. It actually is 2 4'x10' easels attached to each other yet move up or down separately. He worked on one when he was in Houston, Texas with The Barker Company.

That's really nice. When I get a little free time, I'm gonna design a rolling easel that will hold a double signed sign.

Amy, most of the scrolls I use are bought. this particular one on the sign above is a Mike Jackson scroll. I also have a good collection of David Butler and one by our very on, Crazy Jack Wills. istock.com also has scrolls sold separately by Gary Godby. I have also found a few great scrolls from Dover Clipart.

Thanks for posting that Mark. I'm in the process of revamping things, an influx of work has put it on hold, but I think I may work in a version of your easle.

Thanks, Mark. That's a great design, especially since it folds flat. Interesting. It's the basis of all sign shops, I believe. (and the 16 foot is always what I wanted, 8 is never enough!).

Here is the one I have used for years. I got the plans from the Bob Fitzgerald bible from the 50s "Practical Sign Shop Operation". Nice thing with this one is that it is movable. Doesn't fold to horizontal but you can easily letter the top and the bottom of the 4X sign with a pull of the string Easel A.jpg Easel B.jpg If the pictures do not display please email me and I will be happy to send to you.
