Just when I was shopping for a sturdier way to haul art supplies to class, I got the coolest early Christmas gift from
Mariela and
Casey: the
Stanley Fat Max Mobile Work Station.

The workstation opens smoothly after stepping on its foothold, lifting the front tab mechanism, and sliding the whole unit back.

Keeping this random art supplies organized and easy to reach in three separate compartments and removable tray. The middle compartment can be customized with the yellow dividers to hold small items in 8 separate bins.
"Have Art Supplies, will travel" could be very well be its motto.

The
Fat Max being originally designed for carrying construction tools, accessories, and nails should be plenty strong to haul around art supplies and some paper. My current
roller crates were pretty much ready to get retired.

Neither of my foldable roller crates survived the year without breaking. The front panel opposite to the wheeled end have torn in both of them. The design or plastic used on them can not endure the slightest pressure increase. The
Fat Max looks like it can take more abuse while keeping the supplies organized and readily accessible without having to empty the entire crate contents to reach the items in the bottom.

Thanks again guys, this
Stanley Fat Max mobile workstation will certainly make it easier to carry plenty of art supplies to
class and
cartooning events in a very efficient and professional manner. The lesson to keep in mind boys and girls: sometime it pays to look beyond art supplies shops and catalogs when shopping for sturdy art carriers which are often more cost-effective. Had forgotten myself how some of my art bin carriers are actually tool boxes that were more reasonably priced at
hardware stores. Leave it to my savvy brother-in-law to remind us of yet another potential source of art supplies: your local
Home Depot.

Hey I got one of these well not the entire thing just the tool box part on top.
I have 5 tool boxes full of pencils and stuff along with one full of tools.
Yeah, it's quite amazing how much more reasonably priced tool boxes tend to be compared to the versions marketed for artists.
