I just want to specify when someone wants an order, I need payment up front as I have been bitten in the past by dags disappearing after I have built their light box, never to be seen again leaving me holding the can as it were. As I have built well over 300 of these in the last 10 years, mostly for forum members, no one can complain of my integrity regarding payment and delivery.
I trust people will understand.
This new adhesive I am using cuts build time by around 70% it is brilliant, cures by putting UV light on it. I still have to use my conventional adhesive for some of the jobs, but what a helluva improvement. Also the UV stuff is not affected by moisture, so winter will not be an issue, I am chuffed.
Hi Peter, If you are still making these I would like a quote on one for a Tak FSQ106 EDX hood please. The hood has an OD of 14.5 cms.
I am in NW NSW at Barraba 2347

Still making light boxes Peter - might be time I got two - one for a C9.25 (+5mm thick foam dew shield) and one for a Williams Optics 110mm FLT. If you are interested please drop me a line on what you need measurements wise with cost and expected delivery time frame.
Hi all, my light box arrived Friday and I used it last night for th first time. Why did I wait so long to get one? Very nicely made and now I can do flats at any time. Awesome thanks Peter.
Cheers
Geoff
I reckon I have built pretty close to 400 light boxes since I started around 12 years ago, I think only 1 has been returned faulty and that was because the owner left it turned on for a very long time and I am assuming it was around a couple of weeks at least. It dimmed the Leds and I replaced and sent it back to him just for freight, so these just work. AFAIK I am the only person building these on earth..that in itself is frightening, there used to be a mob in the USA, but I think they went bum up, they were the reason I decided to build my own. I got a quote for one for my TAK (in the USA) and it was an outrageous price from memory around $300 USD then there was freight, so all up it would have been around $350USD and that was close to 15 years ago. So I decided to make my own. Did quite a bit of research and finally designed my own version which has since changed a lot from the original, hopefully for the best.
Obviously I am a tad bored with this isolation stuff, so decided to give a brief history of my light box evolution.
Hi peter, my tak 85mm light box you made for me years ago is showing signs of wear and tear-how much for a new one for the baby Q ? The pot has come loose
