kit boxes??

hey everyone, many other painters have told me they have gotten kit boxes at Home Depot for $20-25. I went on HomeDepot.com and could not find anything similar to what I had seen. Would any of you be willing to tell me the name brand of the box if you know what I'm talking about (or better yet post a link to it)? Just needs to be something that fits a pro-palette (the kind that fits 12 30gm cakes?)

Stanley - FatMax is theirs, as is several rolling toolboxes of different size and shapes.

Here is the Stanley site with all the boxes!

Also, apparently Dawn Dewitt debuted a new product at the Las Vegas convention that is going on right now. It is a fully adjustable table workstation on wheels. So, your setup is fully set up for you inside the folding table...you just open it, adjust the legs if needed, put out your water container, brushes, and sponges and go. It stores all of your makeup already set up inside the table. It looks neat. Nora will have hers at LaFete. I am looking forward to seeing it close up. I like my current setup, but there is always room for improvement.

I saw Dawn's box on the FPHQ today and I want one! Here are some pictures of Dawn modeling it that were posted...

Yah right... that's all you need to put in it. That's what everyone says until you start collecting different paints, brushes, bling, etc. etc. etc.

My suggestion is to go with Shannon's suggestion right off the bat (haven't seen the new table yet)

I went from 'just needing a bag, to rolling cart, to rolling tool box, now to Fat Max... and it hasn't even been a year yet....gosh I hope I'm done! lol

I must have posted the pictures right when you were posting Judy...look up...

I just got a FatMax and used it for the first time at the Olympics torch relay on Sunday. It worked great, but I had to put labels of my logo over 'FatMax'...it just hits too close to home Obviously named by a man!

thanks everyone!

OOOo now I LIKE That table idea...all my kit would fit in easily too, I tend to have only 2 pradise pro cases filled with my own assortment. AND the edge to keep little fingers out.

Hmmm.... may have to look into making my own!

I just found out the price of the tables (Gina N. of WowFacterStuff is going to be carrying them). This is the preliminary pricing structure for the tables:

18 x 22 Wood Table/Case $499
18 x 22 Wood Table/Case empty $450
24 x 24 Wood Table/Case $599
24 x 24 Wood Table/Case empty $525

I guess I'll be trying to make my own...oneday. Let me know how yours turns out Cat...I know I've been priced out of getting one.

It looks really neat, but the wood looks heavy to me. Hmmm.... Do-it-yourselfer-brain has engaged We'll see.

Yeah...well, my I'm-not-made-of-money-so-I-have-no-choice-but-to-do-it-myself-brain kicked in a while ago...

What I would like to know is how she keeps her paint in place. I would thing that when she closed it the paints would go every where . . .

same thing I was thinking

For diy's maybe make the wood table deeper. You would want to make sure that you can put all your things into the table when its closed up. Notice her water well is higher than one side. I know my popsicle brush holder is even taller - not sure if it would fit inside when its closed up. Wouldn't want to have to carry an extra bag to put in taller objects.
