The Lightboard that I make (and use) is 40 inches wide, 30 inches high, and is about 7 inches deep. The side legs are 16 inches.
The working surface of the glass is 31 inches x 16 1/2 inches.
It weighs about 45 pounds. Most of that is from the weight of the glass.
It sits comfortably on my desk. I can move it forward and back if I need more space on the desk. The keyboard fits underneath, so it doesn’t interfere with using the keyboard or the desktop. The legs “straddle” a 27″ iMac, so I can literally slide it ALL the way back to the screen (but I never do, because it’s not necessary).
Here is the Lightboard on my desk:
The artwork behind me is “Hot Chocolate” by famed Deaf artist David Call, who lives in Livermore, California. He makes linocut artwork, and then prints limited editions.
