I just finished putting togeather a paint caddy (or finishing box) to contain all of my painting and finishing supplies when we travel in our motor home. You can check it out here http://www.tickners.net/Woodcarving/...addy/Caddy.htm

Good box! I have my paint spread all over a card table in the den lol

Nice box Bill.
Ah, to sell out and travel!

Nah, Don't think my Daughter and son would let me take the Grandchildren.

How did you make the paint bottle seperators?

[Tucson Bill]

Jerry,

I went to Michaels and got some 1/8" thick basswood. 3" wide by 24" long. Just cut 1/8" slots in the strips 1 1/2" deep. Turn one strip over and nest them togeather like an old fashined egg crate.

Thanks, Tucson Bill. I like the box and will build one simular to it! I travel in a fifth wheel and I am always looking for a better way to carry my carving 'stuff'.

Jerry,

If you PM me with an email address I will try to put a few construction notes togeather along with a couple of close up pictures and send them to you.

I was just looking at the box again, excellent design, I would add a spot for a small ceramic paint mixing pallete and a box for brushes...that would make it complete! good job!

[Tucson Bill]

I don't have a pallette, but I do have 2 or 3 little 6 hole (actually 6 depression) gadgets from Michaels designed for mixing paint. Is that what you were thinking of?

I thought about a box or compartment for brushes, but finally elected for vertical storage as shown in Image 4 on the above link. Seems to me I read where one or two of our painting guru's recommended vertical storage for brushes.

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

yes my little ceramic tray has a 1/2 dozen or so depressions for paint...and a small box for the brushes will sure keep from ruining good brushes....
