Can anyone help ? Ive been trying to find a light table- like the ones photographers and drafters used to use but no luck finding one in local area any sugestions ?
Try B&H Photo supply online. They should have several to choose from. They're also very easy to build. Basically they're a box frame with fluorescent tubes and a white translucent top. Happy hunting.
I have made a couple of them. I have a small one about 6X8 and another that I use a lot that is about 2 feet square. I use it for intarsia, tracing, etc.. Good luck

When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

I forgot to mention that it works better if the back legs are longer to tilt the top for easier viewing. A little trial and error to get the angles right.

I learned this one from an old draftsman. If you have a dining room table that slides open for adding leaves to it, slide it open, remove the leaves, put a piece of plexiglas over the gap and a table lamp on the floor underneath. Viola!

All the things I do well, I learned on this forum. The bad stuff, well that was trying to take a short cut.
Ask your questions, someone here will answer....
In 1954 I had one similar to that which had a spring return in the top arm for blade tension. It was set up on a bench for me by my father and had a treadle system to run it ..... I have no memory of the brand of machine.
