Well, the thing is, the drafting machine is a lot larger than the drawing table, so I need to make a whole table with a tilting top, drawers, etc. If this Winter had been decent, I probably would have done it but all of my woodworking equipment is in the garage and I just didn't want to work out there. The machine in this link is the same, so the board needs to be about 36" x 48".

Show interest? He didn't seem to mind that we were there, but I couldn't tell if he was actually interested. I asked if he wanted me to make a 3d mockup while I was there and he said he knew what I meant. I beg to differ.
