Custom Paint Rack

While searching the web for solutions to storing paint on my table I came across several that were close to what I was looking for, but nothing was quite right.  I have 70+ bottles of Privateer Press P3 paints, inks and washes and 20 bottles of GW paints and washes.

 

On the way to lunch I passed a local wood craft shop in a strip mall, Crafty Wood Cutouts in Orem, UT.   

I found a ton of small craft projects and kits but nothing I needed for 40k.  The smell of fresh-cut wood and the sound of saws running in the back of the store gave me an idea.  A quick inquiry at the front desk confirmed that indeed they would cut & build from plans I provided.  I stopped back in the next day with a hand-drawn 3-D sketch of what I was looking for and a couple of bottles as samples for dimension (a P3 bottle and a GW bottle). 

I only had a few requests:  8 rows of 12 bottles, handles to pick it up and I wanted to see half of the bottle in the next row.  I dropped off my napkin sketches along with the sample bottles and waited.  10 days later I stopped in and found exactly what I was looking for!

 

Total cost: $50.  My painting bench has never been more organized!  I can group paints in each row based on color and in turn each row on how often the color is used.  Well worth the time and $$ spent and the folks at Crafty Wood Cutouts were a pleasure to work with.
