If you're an avid wet on wet painter or
you watch a lot of bob ross
you know what this is right here this is
the bob ross beater rack and to me
it's one of the best and most
underutilized tools for
painting but what if you can't get this
which
a lot of people can't it's okay i'm
gonna show you how to build one
out of an easy to acquire item on amazon
that you can order today
so this way we can build our own beater
rack
let's go
what is up all you awesome and creative
people out there wild here to make sure
your creative adventures become bigger
and better with tips tricks how to's or
awesome painting hacks just like in this
video right here if this is your first
time here
and you need a little extra help make
sure you hit that big red subscribe
button down below and tick that bell so
you know my videos
go live for you when it comes to
building your own beater rack we need a
few supplies number one
is getting a wire rack now this goes by
a few different names depending on where
you get it from
anything from a wire rack cabinet
organizer
or just kitchen shelf you can find these
everywhere on amazon
but to be 100% honest i just recommend
getting it from your big
box store i got this for two dollars and
50 cents
at my local discount store these can be
found generally in the kitchen section
or wherever they sell organization
equipment like tubs or tupperware or
anything like that so check there first
before
amazon but hey link in the video
description below if you're having a
tough time
getting one of these important item
number two is the waste bin
that we're gonna need now this is a 7.5
gallon waste bin and the only thing that
really matters when it comes to the
waste bin that we're going to use for
our beater rack
is we want to get one that's going to
accommodate the width
not the length because we're going to
make adjustments to the length
so it fits inside here so find any waste
bin that will work for you
again try discount store or if not i
will put links in the video description
below
now let's build this bad boy to make
your own bob ross beater rack you could
measure out the length and width of the
rack and then cut it to shape
if you want but i'm a lazy man i find it
just simpler
to bend the rack into a nice little cube
shape just like that
and drop it right in the bucket it's
actually pretty
darn easy and it fits perfectly fine
the trick here is just bend the wire
brush so that way it sits snugly in the
bottom there
so nothing moves around but let's say
you accidentally
over bent your rack a little bit just
like this hey it still works because it
can work on its side or whatever it
wants
but if it sits in the trash can here and
it's moving around
all you need to do is just drop in some
sponges that way it kind of
you know cinches up the sign for it to
rest on or you could just drop in
a wood block or heck even a brick if you
wanted to and there you go
you made yourself a nice awesome beater
rack i know it seems like a dumb
solution but yeah
you can just bend your wire rack into
position
to fit in any trash can that you can
find out there hey
this is a good little awesome hack if
you don't have the tools to make
your own now of course you don't have to
bend that wire rack that you just got to
make a beater rack out of it
you can always buy a larger trash can or
bin to accommodate the size
but eventually that means you got to
spend a little bit more money and if you
want to
that's perfectly fine i kind of like
having a small trash can
around my studio so it works for me now
if that seems like too much work for you
to make your own
beater rack you can just buy the bob
ross beater rack which goes for around
10 to 15 bucks on amazon
again links in the video description

like this one because it's easy just
fits right in and you're good to rock
