Great project!

Are you sure it's your first?

only recommendation (friendly advice) I could make is to cut your bolts down on the task light and put acorn nuts on instead. As someone who seems to catch my skin on any protruding object, I try to make things as 'snag free' as possible. Acorn nuts also give a more 'finished' look.

Good project, keep them coming!

Nice job asrubin

I'm sure it will be used for a long tme I like the light on the side, nice touch
adding the cap nuts would also be a nice touch,(dress up) but you may want to thing about tee nuts, that way you don't have anything sticking out to get hung up on...It's a male female fastners so to speak with a small couter bore hole to hold the tee nut in just a little bit you will not ever see the tee nut sticking out,just flush with the stock.
Just a user tip on the tee nuts, cut off the little sparp points you don't need them and in that way it will not split the wood out when you tap them in place...

Good looking easel! Nice job. I wish I had such a nice easel when I was doing a lot of painting years ago! Excellent!
