Pochade box plans

[Oswaldo Pullen]

Does anyone knows of a pochade box plan? Here in Brazil there are not pochades to buy, and if you try to get one from dickblick or ultrecht the price will triple (or more).

With the knowledge we could do it by ourselves. Thanks for any help.

Check out 'Fawzan Barrage Pochade Box' on Youtube. You will find this Canada-based artist is an inveterate DIY pochade-maker and has a couple of different nifty designs made with minimal carpentry and regular hardware store fittings.

Oi Oswaldo,

Depende do que você pretende (óle? aguarela? outro?).

Depende ainda do conceito: Só paleta e cavalete para tela (tintas e pincéis vão numa caixa à parte)? Caixa e cavalete (que leva tudo)? Tuido em madeira? Ou para montar num tripé de fotografia?

Você pode ver nos links abaixo os tipos de cavaletes (entre outros) e escolher.

Terei todo o gosto de lhe apontar planos para construir uma pochade box, basta contactar-me aqui:.http://www.zopap.blogspot.pt/

Entretanto, veja isto e decida:

If you google ... how to make a pochade box... there are several people who show how.

Finally, I finished my pochade box. I didn't yet try it on plein air, but it seems that I will not be in the creek without a paddle. I will post the photos soon.

Hope to see a photo once you have had it blessed, Oswaldo.

[Oswaldo Pullen]

Here it goes. I have more photos, including the unmounted parts. If there are any interest I'll post it. I did some mistakes, of course, but they are fixed. Next time the pochade box will be better.

[Oswaldo Pullen]

More photos. Now, the parts before assembling.

Very nice job. I wish you years of happy painting with it. Thanks for the detailed photographs. Very helpful.

Personally, if I was  going to make a pochade box,   I would use  one of the many  sturdy plastic boxes with hinged lid  that are on the market.  For screws and fixtures etc.    To secure the  fitment to it, the one that slots into the tri-pod head,  I would use  a three inch by six inch  peforated plate to reinforce that area.   (I have actually bought one).  It would be important to get a box that doesn't have fixed compartments and so has a flat bottom inside.  The rest of the procedure is obvious.

Thanks for all uesful solutions. I also add the pic with hand made top part for tri-pod :) Just in case if somebody lost one or don't want demage the original. :)

Here's a new (to me) pochade design: GregzBox.
