I love your channel! I was in a car accident and came across your channel. I started painting while I was in my wheelchair because you inspired me so much. Painting and your channel have been such great therapy for me and now I absolutely love painting. I hope to see you in person to thank you and I will definitely have to buy one of your paintings one day soon as a reminder of how inspirational you have been. I was in a dark place not knowing if I would ever even walk again and in lots of pain some pretty ugly thoughts but I would turn on your channel and the thoughts would go away watching you paint!. I love this palette box so much. Have you ever made and sold them? If so I would much rather have one made by you but If not I will give it a try one day when I can physically. Can you please tell me the overall size when it's all closed up and the center mixing area dimensions? I'm Just trying to get a better idea of how big it is and how I could pack it around with my injuries. Thank you so much for taking the time to make so many amazing videos they have literally helped save my life. Have a wonderful week I sure wish the world had more people like you it would be a such a better place.

This is brilliant but I don’t have the drop saw and table saw. I’ve made my own stretched canvases for 20 years though so I know how to build the frames using a mitre box. In theory you could build the main panel and side covers separately and then just apply the hardware. Also you could purchase two cheap stretched canvasses, remove the canvas and apply the ply bases. Cut one down the middle, glue in the side rails and apply the hardware and brackets. I’m just saying this as there are ways to achieve this without all the tools. Which I would LOVE to own. I’m a 63 yr old grandmother. Never too old to get excited about a new project! 😀

Hi Mike. I watch your videos almost every day now. I’ve watched this video over and over. I’ve scouted the internet for a similar system that’s affordable or even something I might somehow alter and transform but not having much luck. I’m a 65 yr old artist in South NJ who has just discovered the passion of outdoor perceptional painting. Dragging my Julian Easel on a rolling cart along with a backpack of supporting painting gear is really discouraging me from wanting to even think about going out to paint. I have no tools other than an old corded drill and circular hand saw. No tables or space to build anything. I was wondering if, during your next build, (assuming there might be one) if you would build an extra canvas holder (I do have a tripod) and sell me one. I would love a palette box too, but I know that’s asking a lot. Whaddya say?

You can use a pre-made box: cigar box ($2) or a box from a craft store ($20) & adapt it to suit you by using pre-cut trim basswood or birchwood pieces, also from craft store. All you need is a mitre box & keyhole saw, hammer, plus hardware (screws, wingnuts, hinges, small brads or nails) and wood glue. It's NOT a lot of work or $! You'll be glad you did it! I'm 72 and started to build mine.

Actually I looked at the cheap canvasses and they are really crumby wood and have massive bevels, so scrap that idea 😂. However I built my palette box today (I’m in Australia) from strips of 25 x 18mm finger jointed pine for the main base and strips of 18 x 18mm for the lids. I made the lids as a single piece and sliced down the middle as in the video. It’s just waiting for polyurethane and hinges tomorrow. And my hubby helped me make the panel holder for my tripod on the weekend. Off I go into the wild! 😉😳😂

And there is no palette inside? Just the wood of the box? I have used one of the thin gray plastic cutting boards from a home goods store, cut to size.

About the blocks you cut that rest against the tripod leg: is the surface against the leg cut such that is parallel to the slope of the leg, and rotated for a combination cut. The legs now mate with the support recess versus a corner pressure if that makes sense. I have made one for watercolor prior to seeing your video. It's essentially the same. Did you corner nail the front closest to the tripod for strength? Thanks.
@chamberlainpaintings

Not parallel, but close. The top of the surface against the leg touches. I may corner nail it, but the old one I show in the vid wasn't and it's still going strong.

I had the hardware dragging on the back. I like the knob on the front so I'm going to try a wooden washer on the back. Stay tuned. Im also going to try making a hanger with the slope facing the tripod leg. This might be more stable and repeatable.
