My girlfriend was looking for something like a light table that she could put a light behind and trace through paper with, so I decided to take this 11"x13" piece of glass that we had picked up at the hardware store for $8 (Ace hardware, but all the hardware stores will sell glass to-cut), and print some legs so that it works like an easel. I'm more satisfied and picturing more uses for it than I intended. You could use it to just comfortably read a book, hold a laptop, or hold paper for drawing. With glass or acrylic, it's easy to backlight for use with sketching/tracing.
