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.

You can probably make your own pretty easily with some frosted/white acrylic and a light and a box.Janette

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 luckChuck D
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 made one from a piece of 1/4" plexiglass and some 1" dowels for legs. Put a small flourescent light fixture under and good to go.Comment

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.Comment

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!

I bought a small one at my local craft store. It's circular and the top can spin around if you want it to.
