My light table is is now finished. I put a flip top lid on it which makes for more work space when not in use. Oops I notice I left the cover off of the section where the ballast boxes are. also some goodies on it to see how it works

Nice glass work! I love the idea of the flip top light box. I want to remake mine to be part of the workspace as well, but be able tilt it up on an angle like an easel and have natural light come through it when working the paint.

I agree! Nice work Ian. Super job on the paintings. Do you have a place to show and sell your work?

Very nice, I like multi function! Love your artwork and really need your gecko in my collection!
I'm too lazy to build a light table, I bought a glass desk and reversed the keyboard tray.

Looks good to me, and making it a flip top was a good idea!

If you can get hold of an old flat scanner it make very nice A4 size lightbox that is easy to carry around. It is also useful as a light source for photographing glass

True confession, I tape my original pattern (if it is
larger than photo copy paper) to my patio
window and make my back up by tracing it. There
is something in carbon paper that I am allergic to
so this was my way of getting around that problem.

Where does one even find carbon paper any more? I couldn't find any in Staples or Wal-Mart.

Great light table Ian.
Hard to find carbon paper anymore, but graphite paper can be found at Hobby Lobby.

The light table is a wonderful idea, particularly if you need to maximize work space. I like all of the items on your light table, but I must say those head studies are wonderful! Beautiful work.

Thank you for the kind comments. The head studies are approx 1inch x1 inch and are part of an ongoing experiment with
laser printed decals fired onto window glass. Maybe I should start a thread on this subject.
