Reason: 18+ Images Nov 26 14 09:35 pm Link buy a cheap white shelf. turn it around. also you shouldnt post pictures that contain nudity in the forum. edit your post. Nov 26 14 09:36 pm Link If you lived close by I would just make you one. Just go to home depot and get a sheet of 1/2" ply and some 2x2 and pound one up. Why don't people know how to make things anymore? Nov 26 14 10:35 pm Link Jay Dezelic wrote: SERIOUSLY! This could be done with some plywood, a few sheets of laminate, and some wood screws and could be constructed in less than 30 minutes. Something this easy is something that kids do their first week of Wood Shop. Nov 26 14 10:43 pm Link I have two, I bought them on craigslist. Mine are covered in Formica so they are a little bit nicer than what you showed. Nov 26 14 10:45 pm Link A cardboard form tube for concrete is a nice alternative. Glue plywood ends into it and either paint it or cover it with whatever seamless paper you happen to be using. Nov 26 14 11:06 pm Link Unless you want A LOT of painting/finishing work, I would suggest using MDF for posing cubes over any type of plywood. MDF is much easier to finish out to a seamless look. http://setshop.com/studio-equipment/stu … estal.html http://www.dennymfg.com/ProductDetailsN … 8b35897071 Nov 27 14 04:53 am Link I made mine (3 of different sizes) out of two sheets of 8x4 1/2" shuttering ply covered with lining paper and painted. The store cut the sheets up to my drawing, all I had to do was nail and glue the things together. Simples.

You can get those just about at any ceramics shop. Nov 27 14 05:12 pm Link

Reason: other Comments: Unsolicited critiques (last line) are not allowed. Nov 27 14 05:18 pm Link I have a set of apple boxes I built out of cheap 3/4" hardwood plywood from Home Depot. I figure any one of them will probably hold half a ton or more of weight if I ever need it to. I also have a couple of posing blocks I built out of 1/2" MDF and painted white. Those will probably only support 500 lb or so. Really, building your own is pretty easy, if you have a few tools. Nov 28 14 05:29 am Link Best sources for those, is going to be a retail fixture supply house. (The places where stores buy their fixtures........like racks, shelves, counter top displayers, etc.) Nov 28 14 12:50 pm Link Ken Warren Photography wrote: thanks for the info, everyone! unfortunately I live in an apartment in San francisco with no tools. Maybe i can get someone to cut the pieces for me at Lowes. Nov 29 14 12:08 pm Link I could never figure out while apple crates were so expensive.

Before I varnished them, I printed my logo on some ink jet, iron on transfer paper and applied them to the top of each box. Nov 29 14 06:38 pm Link Check Craig's list. Look for stores going out of business. I got mine for free Dec 13 14 08:55 am Link |
