I want to rig up a desktop drawing board. I'm planning on using a big steel plate for the board itself (for purposes of magnetism) but I need a means to stably prop it up at the right angle.
Something like pic related would be perfect, but I'm fine with a nonadjustable solution too. Just something to prop up an 18x24" plate at a 20~ degree angle.
Any suggestions?

Just attach a big steel plate to a wooden block.

Can you drill steel? Can you weld?

They make a paint that you can stick magnets to, like for kid's rooms and such. I used it once and the fumes were pretty strong, but you could paint a sheet of plywood outside.
It's not going to be like steel, so as an alternative for stronger magnetic attraction I'd do what the other guy said, get some thin sheet metal and glue or screw it to a sheet of plywood.

I think I'll just buy a $30 tabletop easel and put the plate on that.
Seems like the easiest way to do it. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.
