"...makes plein air painting a true joy"

Got my customized Bitterroot and couldn't be more thrilled with it--it rocks, Ben, and makes plein air painting a true joy. I got one for my pal Frank and he told me on receiving it he just couldn't quit playing with it like a new toy. These things have personality, it's a real comfort just having the thing there in the backpack. I'm recommending them to all my students and painting buddies without exception.

"I took the box yesterday to my workshop and showed it to my students. THEY ALL LOVED IT!"

Hi Ben, 
Well, I took the box yesterday to my workshop and showed it to my students. THEY ALL LOVED IT! I am hoping you will get more orders. Everybody loved the build of it and especially the magnets! Hoping to use it this weekend while I paint some models in a Rose Garden.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know. I will post a link on my blog for people to find you.. 
Happy Painting!

"The magnets, the torsion hinges and the panel holding system are brilliant."

I just got my new pochade box and I have to say I am EXTREMELY IMPRESSED. I absolutely love it! What a great design you have come up with. The magnets, the torsion hinges and the panel holding system are brilliant. It is exactly what I wanted and then some. I plan to keep this little box with me all the time and bang out small oil sketches by the hundreds! It's the best $200 I've ever spent! Also, I appreciate you working it in to accommodate my schedule.

"Thank you for making painting, especially outside, such a joy."

I love to paint more often and enjoy my Blackfoot more than I could ever have imagined. It makes me smile every time I open it...brilliant construction, very smart, so compact & light. The best of all possible pochade boxes! Thank you for making painting, especially outside, such a joy.

"The design and craftsmanship way exceeded my expectations."

Ben, as I mentioned to you I ordered my Bitterroot as my 50th birthday present to myself ...and simply love it. I also got the piggyback and sunclips....and today ordered the wet panel carrier... The design (magnets) and craftsmanship (Cherry, Birch and attention to detail) way exceeded my expectations. Thanks for doing what you do, the way you do it. I look forward to many years of pleasure using your products.

Loved using it on my heli-painting trip..."

I purchased the 8x10 Blackfoot with 9x12 piggyback and loved using it during my heli-painting trip with Robert Genn, Liz Wiltzen, and the rest of the Bugaboo 10. I have since used the box on many plein air adventures. I am very grateful to Ben for his quality workmanship and great customer service, so, just for fun and as a thank you, I decided to make a video of opening the box and taking my first look.
