This is a drawing box. That's what I call it because it is a custom made box for holding drawing and art supplies.

And I call this one a medieval drawing box because it holds all my various hand made drawing supplies like feather pens, inks and home made paper.

I have tutorials on how to make all those various things.

I also show you how to easily custom make your box for your art supplies.

I also have a video tutorial for this project at the bottom of the page.

I have a youtube channel with over 700 videos on projects you can make. Check it out right here

My email:

We build it with a nice piece of sanded plywood on the inside of the cover. This way we have a nice drawing surface that we can take anywhere.

And we custom make the tray so it fits the art and drawing supplies that we have.

And under the tray is a section where we can store paper, sketch pads and other large sheets.

Okay, Continue and let's make it
