I made this after reading the threads about light boxes here. Fairly cheap and easy to make. Thought I would show it to the group.

Johnny,

Nifty! If my wife hadn't bought me a little fold-up table-top light tent, I'd probably copy yours, outright!

Speaking of wives... I hope there are felt pads on the feet of your frame to keep from scratching the dining room table!! :D

Byron, My wife hasn't said anything yet. She helped me cut and sew the cover so it would fit better although I could have used clips. The legs are not glued to the top so I can remove them and store the whole thing. It is very light.

I have been building my own light box but your idea sure looks a lot better.
Thanks for sharing!

Very cool! Looks like a fun weekend project!

How tall is it?

The idea is not mine but Bill Huber's. I just copied his plans. It can be any height that you want. The legs are just pushed into the elbows so I can adjust the height and disassemble to store.

Cool. I have a collapsing one that I bought but this looks a bit more versatile and easier to "clean" and/or replace parts. Thanks for the ideas....
