Hi Mel, That's awesome and simular to one I paid nearly $200 for. I like how it can all pack up into a small backpack which is great for travelling and hiking. 🎨🎨👍
It could be cool to get two different palettes, one plastic for gouache/watercolor ans one plexiglass or just the wood for oil. That’s really what I’d like haha.
They have (at least at my hobby lobby) 2 separate sizes of the panel boards too. This bigger one and then a smaller. Like 8X10? These only cost about $7 each on sale! $12.99 regularly but hobby lobby does that half off sale every other week. You could customize it however you wanted! It would be sweet! I may make a smaller one for gouache too.
Hobby lobby - 2 wood paint panels -11x14 (on sale at $7.79 each Craft Stick - $2.99 Plexiglass-11x14 -$0.99 (I had scrap at home) Magnets- $4.99 - 1/2 inch,#6 -neodymium Lowe’s- Steelworks finished aluminum solid angle- 1x1x3feet- $7.48 1 1/4” x2 feet pvc pipe-$8.45 1 1/4” pvc cap x2 - $1.60 each (You’ll need glue for the one end- any would work for our use- gorilla superglue) Hinges- $2.38 for a 2 pack Latch-$3.48 90 degree opening right/left hinge (depends if your left or right handed) $2.98 Some type of glue- I like gorilla superglue A poly urethane to seal the wood (I had some on hand) Amazon If you need another head mount for your tripod Tripod quick release mount -$8.49 So about $60 or less depending on what you have lying around you can borrow from 😊 I think this is the whole list - some of these things I had on hand already like the hinges and latches. But I think you get the picture.
I forgot about my paint brush holder. But you probably have something in mind for that. Or can find something? Or fashion something. Also- this week the wood panels are on sale at hobby lobby if you have one near you.
Thank you 🙏 it’s a meshing of many other people’s ideas and things I’ve found that work for me. I’m just glad I have a husband who is handy and willing to help me!
Amazing set up!! Thank you for sharing! Your husband is a keeper!!
Thank you. He is always there to help make my plans a reality, very innovative 😊
excellent!

Thanks Tez! You could easily modify it to fit what you like. I am loving it so far.
@@momopaints That's awesome, Also these types of videos are really helpful. Do some more Mel 🎨🎨👍

This is great! I love the innovation. And the weight of this is really impressive.
Thanks! I think overall we made it for under $40.
@@momopaints That's a fantastic price!
That’s pretty slick! I might have to try this!
