However this palette does not seem to be currently available so I think I'll leave it as anyone interested can follow it up from your post. Basically this is about palettes that are currently avalable with odd exceptions .

I've also read on another thread recently that Jacksons Art Supplies were considering re-introducing this box. I've been pouring over your blog, and the comments thread again recently as I've just taken the plunge and have ordered a Binning Munro palette from John Hurtley's Little Brass Box Company and am beyond excited!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-51107602140438730552017-10-28T09:57:19.157-07:002017-10-28T09:57:19.157-07:00Thanks for comments.

I've been deliberating on taking the leap to a brass palette and am currently torn between going for a Craig Young or a John Hurtley. For most of my painting I use a Holbein 500 or Holbein 1000 palette, so most likely to go for the nearest equivalent in brass. I'd also like to put a shout out for the Frazer Price Palette box that I've become very attached to for sketching! (lots of images etc of this on my website, plus would be happy to send any over to you to add to this astonishing compendium of palettes! Thanks again for compiling this, I'm not at all surprised that it's such a popular page!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-51216400322473894202017-04-29T04:13:00.106-07:002017-04-29T04:13:00.106-07:00Another palette freak!

I emailed John of littlebrassboxes and he said only Craig's travel box could do that, I noticed Craig had a new Bijou Box, which is basically a Roberson cut in two, just w wells. Ordered it - 120% satisfied, the thing is built like a tank, I dropped it and it didn't care, standard kitchen cleaners can be used when it gets stained, and a well can be used as a waterbucket. In the mean time I have acquired a collection of palettes, including an original Roberson, and may order something from John Hurtley eventually, to complete the set, but I have to say that Craig is a gentleman, informative on the phone, and his palette wonderfully made, and built for heavy use. <br /><br />EdmundEdmund Ronald Ph.

I received a response only HOURS later directly from John confirming my order. He calculated remaining cost and provided an updated estimated time frame, which was a few weeks earlier than expected. <br /><br />I too was debating which travel palette to get and I feel confident about going with John. The craftsmanship looks fantastic and I know he has repeat customers. Also, I don't want to worry about my order or have to nudge.

Is it vitreous enamel, baked enamel or enamel paint. The teason I ask is I live in Spain. I am a professional artist and have been since 1981 however before that <br />I was a Coppersmith on the Railways.
