I used to use a light table all the time when I did commercial art way
back before computers took over. It was very helpful for a number of
other things as well. But when I stopped working for the ad company and
didn't have access to their light table, I rigged one at home. I just
took a pane of glass I had, taped some wax paper to the under side of
it[to 'frost" the glass], straddled it between two end tables and put a
directional desk lamp under it pointing up. Worked fine. I didn't need
it often so I would just set it up when I needed it....and if it was
daytime, I'd just use a window! My friend and colleague Lisa, who used
to free lance with me, would just put a light under her glass coffee
table. I suppose we should have invested in a real light table, but the
technology was changing fast and we just didn't need to use it as much.

Subject: [h-cost] light table
Hi,
I was thinking about wishing a light table for christmas and birthday.
I have birthday in january and ususally wishes bigger things, and then
combine the gifts this way.
I was looking at a light table in a shop, and i wondered if any of you
have any experiences with these.
Could i use this to trace embroidery patterns on to fabrics?
It could save me the work i have with transferring with graphite
paper.
Any thoaghts greatly apreciated.
