This is the best DIY cigar paint box I've seen so far. Inspired me to make one instead of paying over £100 for one.

That's the best DIY pochade I've seen! What a brilliant design - just wish I had the skills to made one myself. Mine is like the Frankenstein's monster of pochade boxes compared to this.

This is beautiful. I’m trying to see how the side trays stay in when pulled out. At first, I thought the inner edges would be a tiny bit taller so they would catch on the top of the slots, but from the photos, they seem to be the same height.

4/24/2021 USA Grandpa Bill: Smoothie77, yours is the finest DIY box I've seen on KZbin. I've been looking for several days at every box and easel that comes up on the lists. Chuckle, my vision is almost swimming from all of them. Your care in making it comes through and if I had made it I would be right proud...in a humble sort of way. I'm guessing that you got the extra Mahogany for the drawers and board from other cigar boxes? Thank you for sharing it.

Love it you are so inventive and creative, I can't quite envisage me going plain air but you never know I might take to the hills with my mobility scooter and watercolours that would be a sight for sore eyes. Having done the collaboration waterfall perhaps I could go for Niagara in watercolour ! That would be amazing, do you know how to paint rainbows because there is usually one at Niagara and you are actually looking down it from the American side of the falls, breathtaking

Nice job, but you've put the tripod T nut in upside down! The large end with the hooks goes inside the box, not outside. The reason is that the tripod clamp will, and does, pull out the T Nut if you mount as you have it.

This evening, on my nightly stroll, inspired by this video, I walked into a wine and cigar shop in town and said, Hey, I’m in need of a cigar box for an art project. Do you have any? He handed me two - one basic one and another with thicker stained wood and rounded corners. No charge! I’ve seen other places that might charge like $5.

They are called: Southco E6 Adjustable Torque Hinge. They are great for this application because they omit the need for external adjustable brass hardware often found on pochade boxes. The hinge is stiff.
