Paint Caddy.<br />
Here is a great addition to the workbench and it’s easy<br />
to make. I do three or four projects at a time. This sometimes<br />
causes confusion and problems in looking for tools<br />
and materials. At the moment, I am painting figures. To<br />
help keep my paint and brushes together I made a Paint<br />
Caddy.<br />
Cut two pieces of 1/2” MDF (or similar material) about<br />
8” x 4-3/4”. Then cut two more pieces 4-3/4” x 1/2” for<br />
spacers. Drill or cut various sized holes for paint bottles and<br />
brushes in one of the 8” pieces. This is now the top and the<br />
other 8” piece is the bottom.<br />
Glue the top to the bottom with the 1/2” spacers in<br />
between (Photo 1). Load it up with your favorite paints and<br />
brushes (Photo 2).<br />
Now, I no longer get frustrated looking for the right brushes<br />
and paints. Of course, the caddy idea can be adapted for any<br />
project.<br />
