Just got a note from a lady looking for a used drafting table in the Dallas/Ft.Worth/Wichita Falls area of North Texas. She wants something about 42x30 in size. If you would like to part with one, drop me an email and I will put you in contact with her. Thanks

a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 oak plywood cut to whatever size wanted, some 1x2 oak for edging all around and 2x4s for a frame. Just add water (OK screws and glue) and voila, instant custom drafting table.

Are you looking to sell those tables?

Made mine from a solid oak hospital door without an opening for a window, heavy sucker, about 4' X 8' and 1 1/2" thick. Used a piano hing and attached it to a large heavy metal desk with provisions to change the slope. Intended to put a dowel along the front to protect any drawings that needed to be pulled down but never found the need, so it is still dowelless. Still have a large light table in the office that gets used religiously, at least once every 3 years anyway. The lady could probably get something that big built locally if someone would suggest it to her.

man, I wish I had a nice light table... I've had 2 or 3 people "say" they'd make me one cheap... and then never heard back from them. If I get ahead a little bit ($$$) I'll make myself a cheap one, but usable.

plywood box, some frosted glass and a couple of cheap fluorescent light fixtures is all you need.
