HOW TO Flip-Chart Easel?

You can use MDF or hardboard (HDF) for the panel part. Or plywood.

I went to art school too and never used an easel. When working i would just have a sheet of plywood with a pair of small spring clamps on the top to hold the paper on. Sit on chair, bottom edge of board resting on knees, board leaning against side of table or counter or whatever was convenient.

1. I'd use some plywood or hardboard for the board, available at the closest hardware store near you. You can sand it so that it's smooth.
2. It seems those are just two dowels, made from metal. I'd use some machine screws or something, with some nuts to hold them in place. Maybe super glue them if you want. So just buy the actual flipchart, measure how big the holes in it are and how far away they are, and buy matching screws or something.

Flip chart? What is your school arts and business joint?
You mean an easel?
Yeah it will need fixings. Probably cheaper to buy it used

I actually tried that board-on-knees trick, but it just doesn't work for me. I can't paint sitting down, I feel like my shoulder movement is always compromised (which is a real trouble when I try digital art)

MDF seems like a good choice, but I'm not really sure about where to get a piece of this size.

Any big box hardware store. If they don't have the general size you want, just buy a size larger and ask them to cut it for you. They do that for free.

Go to a big box store and buy a defect-grade laminate counter top (seriously, 8 footers are usually like 10-20$). Have them cut it into the shape you desire, you should have enough material for several easels. Bonus they're flat and rigid as fuck and essentially waterproof.
