Not, a shil but I just purchased a pochade from here:

And really like all of the thoughtfully designed features. They ship really fast. The built-in panel holder is nice to have.

There $100 for the Pochade box and I also make the Panel Holders in anysize, they hold 5 panels each(includes masonite, and canvas panels)

I made the lid support arm so it’s one piece and when you close the lid it doesn’t protrude. It’s custom machined out of brass on a Milling Machine. These Pocahde Boxes are really strong and can tack a beating. All glued using Garrila Glue. It can hold a 11×14 panel or stretched canvas, using the bungee chord system, works great, fast, its simple and I’ve never had a problem with it. Attaches to quick release plate and becomes extremely easy to attach and take off your tripod. I hang my gear bag with my paint tubes etc in the bag and on windy days i put a 10lb weight in the bottom of the bag. Solid as a rock in gust of 30mph winds on beach. Not sure on the rocks though but it’s been real windy on the day I painted some of the other plein air paintings. It can hold a 8×10 panel with lid closed and still clear the paint on the perimeter of the palette. I make the Pochade box with Maple and Birch plywood, however for a even lighter box I can substitute Red Oak for the Maple. The box weighs about 5lbs depending on what wood is used.

Thanks,
