    Description

    The Repurposed Pochade - paint box travel lap easel. Condition is New.  Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
    This is a repurposed unfinished cigar box turned Pochade Paint Box.  The dimensions are approximately - 8" x 8.25" x 2" (L x W x D).
    Weight 1 lbs.
    I started making these for quick studies in tight spaces or when painting in a limited palette.  I have found them quite versatile, easy to travel with and fun to make...  So I thought I'd offer some to you.  I have not stained or sealed the boxes so that you may add your personal touch!  Each box comes with two latches and a solvent/medium cup for you to mount as you see fit.
    The mixing area is just under 8" square.  They come with a standard masonite palette.  I don't want to ship glass.  If that is your preference you'll have to source that on your own.  The palette is removable for easy replacement or cleaning.  Please give the palette a light rub with some linseed oil after you paint.  This will seal the palette after several uses.
    This current batch of boxes can hold a panel as short as 5" or as tall as 10" with a reasonable width.  Should you wish to adjust this slightly, simply let me know.
    All boxes come with a standard 1/4" x 20 t-nut which will connect to most tripods or quick release plates.  They can be used as table easels.  However, I prefer to use these boxes with a light weight camera tripod.
    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.  These boxes are built to take a beating!  They are, however, hand made so some inconsistencies should be expected.  Should you wish to try your own build, contact me for details.
    Thanks!
