I am looking at plans to build my own light box. Best wishes, Joe
Joe, Regional Supply at 3571 South 300 West, Salt Lake City, Utah, has the 3/4 inch white milk plastic sheets and will cut them to your requested size. Be sure to check the odd sheet bin. They may have a partial sheet at half-off from which a 10" square can be cut. Other than that, building your own light box using the tap light method is a project that requires only: 1) Utility knife and scissors 2) Square, long ruler and compass 3) Small drill 4) tap light, a couple mini-bungie cords, four nylon screws with eyelets, and white duct tape (Ace Hardware) 5) two sheets of 1/2 white foam board 36x24 (Ruels). I built mine as a winter construction project. - Kurt - Kurt _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
