Two Hour Project: Artist's Light Box

This simple light box is perfect for sketching and other crafts. Make it in an afternoon with no knowledge of electrical wiring.

Cool project! I expected a sit-com to start any moment with that music...Almost reminded me of a Love Boat type weekly series. Very upbeat. Clean, simple video.

loves it
simple, short, and fast
never thought of using foil
it could even better if u added a dimmer to control the brightness

What's the name of the white board that used to cover?

What did you use for the table top? I googled plexiglass and Acrylic but they are both very expensive. Is there an alternative material to use?

Love the video and thanks. But unfortunately I found it cheaper to buy a ready made light box rather than buy LED strip, wood and diffuser plastic as light panel.

Don’t you need actual lights for this?

I am learning how to draw (without this thingie), and it could be useful for example when you have made a sketch and want to transfer that to another underground, such as aquarelle paper, or canvas, so you don't have to do the sketch all over again, but the problem with this thing is, thatif you make a picture and use it, the image will be smaller when transfered. I use my drawing, add a layer of graphite on the back and trace it to the other underground (first I make a print with the printer). And that method has got it's limits as well, because you can't do that with for example A3 size, because almost nobody got such a large printer. For small drawings it is fun, I suppose. In our local 'dollar store' in The Netherlands this thing goes for just 1 dollar 50 or something.
