A day in the life of a boxART maker

This is the third shot. While doing this, I was also supervising a participant who was attending my first FREE boxART workshop.

  • This is the third shot. While doing this, I was also supervising a participant who was attending my first FREE boxART workshop.
  • This is the final shot of my proposed art box.
  • This is a picture of the proposed art box upright. I can't edit this photo because I shot too close so there's no space for editing to centre it.
  • My new art box is completed. It contains all the materials I need to doodle on my art-ready boxes wherever I am. One stop solution to drawing anytime.
  • In the studio, I first shot the main face. As usual, the sander had taken off some of the varnish which is what I like: surprises.
  • The second face was shot next: if you noticed, some of the original paint had come off which gives it a rustic look.
  • Mirror finished, the box is ready. To do this job adequately, I also used two other sanders for 40 and 100. Plywood base is handnailed after glue fix.
  • After sanding 240, the next step is to use a 320 on a 125mm sander. I chose the Metabo over the Bosch and Makita because of its special spin.
  • Sanded on 240 grit, the surface was smoothened of any roughness. A grit of 60 was used to clean the interior.
  • After choosing a suitable sander, I had to choose between 100, 180 and 240 sanding grit. I chose 240.
  • From an angle, we can see the varnish is rough.
  • After three coatings of gloss varnish, I was ready to sand it down for a smooth finish.
  • The sun was shining brightly so to see how thick the varnish was, I found an angled shot to show the shimmer.
