any suggestions for a light table?
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:18:11 AM »
My films are 13" x 18"....any recommendations for a light table? I have the Tri Loc and the M&R grid that you put on a light table on its way from M&R. So any ideas on a good light table or would I be better off just building one myself which I can do.

Build yourself a wooden box and install some lights and have 1/4 glass cut for the top....you can even go as far as to mount this on a stand somehow that fits you.  I'm leaving out a lot of detail of the build, but I think you can pretty much fill in the blanks as needed.

Old XRAY lights work awesome too. Since Xrays are going electronic these are a dime a dozen on Craigslist. Got one for 20 bucks a few weeks ago.
