Newly constructed mini-flat file

(C) 2017 Dale DiMauro

As it was getting colder and the days on the calendar were advancing, I was pushing to build this mini-flat file. A good chunk of the wood I used, which is primarily oak, was sitting around in the garage from last year. Any additional lumber I purchased from the local Home Depot, as they currently supply quite a selection of half inch stock.

Counter space, in my studio, is at a premium. Thus, this flat file was constructed to hold paint brushes and store small watercolor paper scraps. My studio is south facing which makes me leery when it comes to leaving watercolor paintings out in the sun.

For me, building things out of wood is very rewarding. I enjoy the process of figuring out how best to construct something. Finally, shaping the various pieces of wood and joining them into a finished product is very satisfying.
