Light Boxes

I used to, for things like tracing patterns, but used an old slide sorter and we recently got rid of all our film photography stuff, so no light box any more.

I use my iPhone!  most smart phones have an option to use the LED as a flashlight.  I just put a few pieces of masking tape over the LED  to dull it down, and then i'm off.  A lot of guys I know use their smart phones. Also does not take up any room in my work space!

I never thought about my smartphone.  What I was planning on doing is making a box out of frosted acrylic, but that gives me another idear....

I feel stupid asking this but what technique are you talking about.  Anything that can referee the fight between myself and clear parts would be a good thing

on and whammo, it shows up. You can make your own :https://www.google.com/search?q=diy+tracing+light+box&oq=diy+tracin&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l3.7624j0j4&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&espv=1&ie=UTF-8
