I think I am just naturally messy when it comes to paint organization. But I always know how to find the paint I need. Cool post :)ThirdEyeNukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130228123184135294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-85121733394689655112013-08-30T22:57:55.885+01:002013-08-30T22:57:55.885+01:00Thanks.

I would be embarrassed if you saw my paint station.If you get worried about leaks you could hinge the top of the rack and add hinged supports at the bottoms. This would allow you lay it flat against the wall while painting and then prop it at an angle when you aren't worried about space or ease of access.Beinemachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966193402253547059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-75807068114918806042013-08-30T06:48:57.119+01:002013-08-30T06:48:57.119+01:00Thank you admiral drax!

I suppose you could drill the holes at an angle if you we're worried! I've yet to have a paint of any kind leak on me, so fingers crossed that if I make sure to close the caps properly, they won't leak!

Considering making but at an angle so the ink pools at the bottom instead of against the cap.<br /><br />Again, great work.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.com
