Built this for my grandson. Made of cherry with a polyurethane finish. Piano hinge at the top, with one side for paints, and the other side a chalk board. Used chalkboard paint on plywood for the chalkboard, and painted 3/4 plywood for the painting side. Wood brackets and a 3/4” dowel at the top holds a roll of paper. A flat aluminum bar at the bottom holds the paper in place. A tray with beveled edges on each side holds chalk and painting supplies. A chain attached to eye screws holds the legs.

Nice project !
I’d like to make one of these for my grandson.
I hope it turns out close to as nice as yours did.
Thanks.

Nice! Where did you get the paper rolls? Why not a dry erase board instead of chalkboard?
I started one similar for my grandson but my old TS wasn’t decent for making needed cuts. May have to deviate and do one like yours. Thanks for sharing.

Got the paper roll at Hobby Lobby. Had to trim it a bit to make it fit.
Have your say...
