    Hey guys,

    I've been looking for a good A1 size light box to use for my drawing work..Only ones I can really find are Argos ones and the reviews aren't great.

    I also live in an apartment so can't really get the saw out and make a frame myself at the moment.

    Since I'm sure many of you are artists...any ideas where I could get a big one for a decent price?

    :)

    Cheeeeers:D

    at A1 you'll be building it yourself.

    I'd say get the ikea workbench with the angling trestles, and then a glass top for it.

    with an approriate glass plate instead of buying the top.

    I was just about to say the same. Building is your best option and probably more cost effective ;)

    Hi ,

    What type lightbox are you looking for ? There are several kinds of light box, Crystal light box ,aluminium snap light box and magnetic lightbox?
    And also ,do you need double sided or single sided?

    What kinds of light box do you need?

    I think you can search such light box with your specific needs on google or ebay, there are many suppliers can do that for you.

    Cheers
