When we moved out to Pennsylvania one of the things I gave up was my large studio space and desk. So while the computer found a permanent spot in our new home, my camera stand and disc did not. To add insult to injury the glass in the disc broke in the move.
For my birthday my wife repaired the glass, so I needed to make it usable again. Chromacoulour had a folding table-top board which would be perfect, but I didn't want to pay their price. So using their images I fashioned a measured drawing to make my own.
With an excuse to buy a jig saw it was off to Home Depot.
Here's the finished board. It doesn't have a built in light, but it is really easy to re-purpose the desk lamp around to the back. Now I just need to figure out how to machine my own paper punch.

Oh, man, Chad... I want a drawing table like yours. I'm using a plexiglass number with the pegbar built in, and no disc. I'm jealous. I might have to ask you to share your, ahem... blueprints.
Tim, you'll have to let me know how your homemade punch works out. I've been teaching at a local college here and they are set up with 3 hole registration instead of the acme, and it's is a pain to keep the drawings registered. IM me with the model number of that Boston punch if you would.
