It's a color caddy!

here's the top view

and a view from the front




I think it's pretty cool. It's mounted on a piece of plywood with strategically placed 2/4 and 1/4's in the back of it that are all screwed in... oh and I stained the wood too 8).There's 18 sections on the bottom two levels that can each hold over a pound of color, there's 9 sections in the middle level that can each hold a little over 4 pounds of color, and 5 sections on the top level that can probably each hold 10 pounds of color. So it can hold over 100 pounds of color!!! It's organized and portable, if I need to go work at a friends shop I can just pick it up and have all my colors with me, and I could even put some tube and rod in the top sections. Everything would be safe and stay seperate without a risk of breakage.

It can also stand up on the back side, and I was thinking in that position I could put some kind of snaps on there for "back pack" straps, to carry around like a backpack.


So what do you guys/girls think about it? Should I make a few to sell if the cuts on the pvc tubing were cleaner?

Hey Adam, that rocks! I'd love to have something like that, and I know it would be simple to make, but hey that's only if you have the TOOLS (and time) to make one ....which I don't :lol Next time I’m down at Kev’s I’d like to come check it out and maybe get you to build one. ;)

I bet you could sell some to some people around the local scene here... most don't motivate on making stuff like that... they're like me :lol Lots of stuff we buy we could make ourselves pretty easily but someone else did it so boo yaa buying time.

Oh and I wanted to apologize for my reaction yesterday. I didn't ask for any posts to be deleted. I do appreciate the feedback, even the negative feedback, and that's what I asked for. I would like to see other people's set ups though, maybe I can improve on mine from checking out others.
