I know it's been a while since I've made this light table but I just wanted to let anyone who is interested know - I FINALLY HAVE PLANS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD! Long story that basically comes down to "I barely know what I'm doing when it comes to building a website" lol. If you're interested, there is a link in the video description. PDF plans as well as the sketchup model!

Learned a lot from this and got inspired, thank you! In the apartment I moved into recently, the previous residents left a box-like sofa table. The tabletop extends upwards like a platform when opening the desk. Since I don't do the sofa-TV-thing, I have placed it in my office and use it for my laptop, phone and tablet and added a simple keyboard support to raise the keyboard up from the inside of the box. Your idea of placing the power extender inside the box is a great idea, I will add it to the table to get rid of some cable-clutter. And I hope to build a light table as soon as I get my hands on the right tools and materials!

Great video. . . well made and informative. I came across this video looking for help to make a 4' x6' dimmable ceiling LED light for my bathroom. I've been told there is a calculation for spacing the lights so there are no "hot spots" coming through the lens. I really like the idea of using the foam board as a light defuser. It is also much cheaper than finding special plexiglass for the job. Thanks. I'm looking forward to watching more of your productions.

im not, though i wanted to mention tattoo artists use this sort of thing all the time when spec's need to be met not all are all that good at freehand most, in fact, this is a have to thing for them. or at least as I've noticed its all so one hell of a good way to reverse engineer things or draw out floor plans, not of your own it's an all-around good tool i plan to build one soon. really an awesome idea. one other thing an afterthought its a good tool to see what something looks like superimposed over scenes.
