Very rarely do i see something online that I just have to have. I am impulse driven, I admit, but most of those are "wants", not gotta haves. When I saw this item from Back 2 Base-ix online, I knew I had to have it. I wanted to rebuild my old Citadel paint station (I had the wood one, not the new plastic PoS) anyhow. I had some 1/4" MDF here anyhow, so I ordered 2 of the Racks and a corner paint holder from them. They are in Australia, so there is a currency conversion and the shipping is kinda high... but...
WOW! They are totally cool. They hold every-freaking-thing and they are a joy. I'm not sure which was more fun, building them or magnetizing them. They have great videos to who you how they are built, and unless you are 8 or a moron, you can figure it out pretty quick. Once together they are very strong and solid. They are laser cut, so there is the typical burny-scorchy marks on the, they say you can sand them off in seconds, but I love that look. Then you get to magnetize them, a job which, if done in accordance with the video, is easy and makes it so you have a perfectly mated system, where any part joins with every other part in any configuration. Brilliant!
The racks come with jars and bottles to hold all manner of bits and bobs, and the drawer is very useful also. The paint holder is great too, but all it does is hold paint and brushes. While it does it, and does it well, it doesn't get the fame that the Rack does.
Cons: Some of the holes for brushes could be a tad bigger. A lot of brush makers are going to larger widths for their handles. I have handled this small problem with a drill...
Pros: Amazing system, and the pieces they have on the site are just the beginning. There is more to come! Yay!
Here is a couple of shots of my new paint station with the Racks from Back 2 Base-ix...
And that's all he wrote....
