It's not like it has to be really sturdy - nothing can fall out of the box... Still loving it, I'm using it every time I go out plein airing, and a lot of my fellow artists say, oh where did you get that cute box? LOL. I refer them to your site.<br />RuthRuth Squitierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218278690343002767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619256961244076192.post-65090755592979131052009-09-24T15:15:20.748-05:002009-09-24T15:15:20.748-05:00Hey Jim.

I posted them on my blog if you wanna take a look at them.<br />http://lemonlips.blogspot.com/<br />After using the box a few times, I think it might have been better to just make the panel carrier separately to keep the weight down, but with the box now, I have 1 less thing to carry.Phong Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408287300782329103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619256961244076192.post-65108950592344374932009-09-16T20:59:22.775-05:002009-09-16T20:59:22.775-05:00thanks for the suggestion, Jim.

Now I can see why people pay so much money for them. <br /><br />I had an accident where the tee nut came out but it's being glued in right now with some white glue. <br /><br />After I make some modifications I'll be sure to send you photos of the finished box.<br /><br />What kind of stain did you put on the box? For now I'm just leaving it bare since my box is kinda beat up.Phong Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408287300782329103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619256961244076192.post-71035989214103194812009-09-13T08:54:14.185-05:002009-09-13T08:54:14.185-05:00Phong, I am glad they were of help to you.
As far...Phong, I am glad they were of help to you.<br /><br />As far as the tripods, one with a goose neck mount works best. Most are fairly expensive. However if you hit the trift stores like Goodwill. You may find a old tripod for a VHS Camcorder, it will have a gooseneck mount and is very stable.<br /><br /> I thought about carring panels in the lid, would like to see your design and innovations on the Pochade Box. I am collecting photos from other people that have started with my plans and will publish a post on them later. Would certainly like to included yours in it.jimserrettstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604574528873628463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619256961244076192.post-86162940454299914632009-09-13T00:19:31.788-05:002009-09-13T00:19:31.788-05:00Thank you so much for posting the plans!

Now the journey for a decent tripod begins...<br /><br />I actually took the liberty of making the top a little thicker and added some space to hold 2-4 wet panels. Haven't decided what kind of latch I want to use so I'm just using a belt to hold everything closed.Phong Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408287300782329103noreply@blogger.com
