Oh wow that’s great, especially with the built in brackets for supporting the whole box. Gorgeous idea for the brushes & water pail. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us! 💕
Given pine and ply are softwoods do you need to seal the final product against moisture damage from both oil paint and liquids such as water and solvents?
I like making my painting equipment myself, as I simply like it. Your presentation was adorable ("make sure it is going in the right direction!"), and inspired me. Thank You very much! Your husband must be a great guy if he shares his tools with his wife! 👍
Great design. And at 18:15 on the video it shows you placing a spare board on top, which would still fit inside the height..........well if that was a painted panel....and you put 4 push pin/tacks, one in each corner....you could carry a finished painting back from the field without it touching the top.
@@sarahpondevieart5563 yes! Weirdly though the boards are called 1x2, 2x4, etc but the actual measurements are at least ¼” smaller so the metric is closer to reality.
I would have like to have seen from the side and back how it was attached to the easel. What do those brackets actually hang on? Clever design and well thought out!
Top job. Excellent clear video, Sarah. I have been twiddling about getting ready to make a pochade for plein air work and your video popped up. I very much like the fact that it's fundamental made from painting boards. I'm inspired!
Can you supply a written, illustrated instruction pdf. With supplies list. We have imperial measurements in America. Ill need to convert. Thank you this is great!!!
I am glad you like this! But illustrating instructions is a big job and this is a free video - it was a lot of work to create! But I wanted to share my process as I couldn't find anything that worked for me. I have the list of materials at 0:04 and the tools at 0:05, I then explain them in detail at 0:29 (tools) and 1:33 (materials),so you can take screen shots. I am always having to convert imperial to metric when following tutorials from the US, it is easy with google :)
Great job, with a bells and whistles design. I've been doing something similar but a bit simpler in function. You could certainly take this to the next level and finish with Danish oil or Carnauba wax.
Sarah this is so good! I live in North Queensland and have been looking at pochard boxes but they are so expensive and I’m not committed enough to plein air yet to justify the expense. I watched this with my woodworking husband and he is going to build it for me from your vid. Is there anything you would have changed after using it for awhile? Also I haven’t bought a tripod so any suggestions please? I will follow you on Insta too to see any other news on this. I love your wood burning art on the box! What a brilliant idea. You are one clever cookie.

I did seal the inside with wood oil, but now i use a plastic palette inserts so I can keep my paints fresh or swap out for my pastels - find this works really well.
@@sarahpondevieart5563 those are expensive, did you choose that especially for the sturdiness? I see there are much cheaper ones but afraid they would be too weak?
