    Nice Ken. I got my first one in mid 90's after seeing my workshop teacher and some other pros (PAPA's like Matt Smith) using the Open Box M. I have all 5 versions now! one 8x10 like your reiew, two 9x12's my faves, one to use and one as back-up, and the biggie the 11x14, not used too much. And the cute little thumb box, for 6x8's and such, also not used much. Like for all the reasons you said, especially hand made in the USA! Excellent customer service, and they last a long time if cared for. Put in a canvas bag to avoid the catchy things catching on your pack, like a swag bag you get at most plein air events for example. Use quick release and ball joint on my Bogen Manfredo heavy duty tripod (good for fending off javelinas and mountain lions while painting out here in southern AZ). Cheers!! :D

      Hey Ron thanks for the comment and for sharing your experience with the Open Box M. I think I will get the 9x12 version next too. The canvas bag trick is very smart too! I was annoyed by it catching on my stuff but I love how strong and stable all the hardware is. Happy Painting!

    Nice review; thanks for helping out us newbies to plein air process. I caught your comment on the Aluminum panel and have been thinking about using Al for a while. The best solution I've found is that you can buy small panels of aluminum that have been anodized in an industrial process, giving the surface a very durable protective layer that you can paint directly on. Have you tried anodized aluminum as a painting surface?

    • @KennethYarus
      @KennethYarus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow very cool I haven't been able to source anodized aluminum. I have opted for exterior sign board. It is thin aluminum with a core of plastic. There is a polymer face chemically etched onto the aluminum but you have to buff and gesso that surface. It works well as I can buy a 4x8ft sheet and cut them to many sizes.

    A laptop sleeve is great to put these thin easel boxes in to protect your gear

    Nice Ken. this "open box m" is 8x10? or 10x12?

    • @KennethYarus
      @KennethYarus  ปีที่แล้ว

      They make all kinds of sizes. This was the 8x10 version. I wish I bought the bigger one though...

    Looks nice but I think the ugo one would be a lot more practical. Too many knobs and wing nuts etc to adjust, too many pieces that could get lost.

    Open box seems to have closed their business.
