My New Favorite TOMBOW Marker Storage Solution!

Күн бұрын

Tombow recently released a new desktop marker organizer for their Dual Brush Pens and ABT Pro markers. After getting my full set of OLO markers I needed a better storage solution for my Tombow Dual-Brush Markers, so I purchased this to see if it would be a good solution to my "problem."
Watch me unbox, setup, transfer my Tombows and review this art tool organizer. See what I like and don't like about it, and how it compares to my current favorite-the Crafter's Companion marker storage trays.

Wow, that is a nice Tombow marker holder! Yes, I only have about 36 Tombows so far and it has been hard to store them. I did buy a little square, put-together holder, but then found out they need to be stored on their side so that little holder won’t work. Your new one looks dandy. Good advice on checking the caps. I get almost as much fun out of organizing as I do out of drawing. Maybe I have some OCD going on.

I have Tombow markers I've had over 7 years. Always stored them upright. I don't use them very often, but they still draw like brand new, no ink has dried up.

I love my Tombow dual brush pens! I'm severely vision-impaired (legally blind), and I found that I can read handwriting much better if I write in Tombow markers. I may just have to get one of these storage units to hold the ones I have. I want to eventually collect them all.

@dmccrack2000 Жыл бұрын

I like this tombow storage but very pricey and I already bought another Tombow organizer that folds out and has a lid and handle, but it stores vertically! Wish I had been more up on vertical vs. horizontal for dual tip pens! Is that why Tombow came out with a horizonal holder? Gee thanks, Tombow! NOW you come out with this. 😝 I tipped the other holder sideways, but still not exactly horizontal so use a small strip of wood to level. Now I am in an obsessive-compulsive attitude cuz I bought the wrong holder and do not want to change! I really liked the label stickers to go with each pen. Then knowing where you pulled out the pen it will have its own home!

I recently saw this organizer on another video and knew I had to get it! Im missing about 40 colors so now im obsessing over getting those last ones 💀. Unfortunately at this point, all the sets I dont have like 4 or more dupes so I'm just going to have to buy them individually.

@RijackiTorment Жыл бұрын

I know the storage system was designed for the Tombows, but I can't help but wonder if it might be a good fit for other long narrow markers like the Zigs. The stickers wouldn't match, of course, but would the markers fit? That's a rather nice looking compact solution.

I've really enjoyed your videos--so much that I've finally subscribed. I've hesitated to mention this in the past but since I'll be watching more frequently now, I'd like to very gently suggest that you turn off the music whenever you talk. You have such a beautiful, soft voice but when the music is playing while you're talking, it's so difficult to hear you. It could be that the problem is due to my older ears (I'm 73); but could you maybe give it a listen and see what you think? Try listening around the 1:30 mark where your voice gets a bit softer? Thank you so much for all the work you do to help us!

Excellent. I came across this sort of randomly and wow. It's really inspired me to remember my gorgeous full set of badly neglected tombow. Now I want to go look for a vedo of you using them! They were my first love I used for years but then everything switched to alcohol markers -- which I'm not that great at and which never seemed to have the vibrancy of the tombows. Psyched!!

Would have been extra nice if they had thought to. include a good recessed carry handle on the top (recessed so you could set another on top without the handle getting in the way) and also a face plate/door so you could put it on and carry the totally protected pens to a gathering or something without worrying that they could fall out while being moved. I would love a similar box for color pencils, the other trays are too big and clunky for pencils.

I just got the Crafter's Companion marker storage. I wanted to use it for Prismacolor pencils but there are no directions for stacking them and I have no clue. I got them to stack but they don't pull out like you got them to do and short pencils won't show. Also, they just come apart while trying to figure out how to open them in the stacked but angled back direction. I've searched the webiste at both Crafter's Companion and for the manufacturer and no one show how - looked through your videos and don't see how to stack them. Is this a closely guarded secret? LOL Do you have any suggestions. .

Love all yr shares and detailed applications. The other day ii had an ocd-ish cringy reaction on another channel watching handheld sharpener mis-used after learning from you how to best hold t e pencil and turn the sharpener (like a manual crank), and my own 'don't do that's moment tapping the pencil against the metal sharpener to dislodge the shavings...ii've snapped at cashiers who dropped multiple pencils into a waiting bag out of sheer ignorance or carelessness and gone back to replace them...yeah...but ii invest in better budget tools as ii can and they're not so precious ii don't use them, ii just like knowing how to prevent damage for long term use. Hot press water color paper is my preference or smooth Bristol or plate for markers over maker paper or rhodia paper for calligraphy but they keep my softer nibs from fraying. Do you use the koi water brushes? Along the way ii've learned so much about brands, and made a lot of mistakes getting to best practices. Thank you and Steve for all yr efforts.
