Help on DIY Product Photogtaphy Table

Hello,

I went to a Studio Garage Sale and could not pass up the sale on a piece of Frosted Plexiglass 6 ft x 4 ft for $20!

Now the magical question, HOW do I build a Product Photography Table?
Something easy to put up and tare down?

If you have any thoughts, suggestions or websites links that would be GREAT!

thanks....

This person just used a regular table and a light box on a boom. (LINK)

So I supposed you can just put it on top of a table and use a similar light box

Angel,

ok... you'll probably not like my post... but here it goes...

go get google sketchup for your designs...
go to mcmaster.com for your materials...
go get crafty...

those 2 websites have taken me to various hobbies and crafts and my wife hates it... lol...

There are quite a few posts regarding Product Photography. I have found this post by Mr. H. to be very informative. https://photography-on-the.net …&highlight=ligh​ting+setup

thanks everyone...

kinghong1970, I love to build stuff and your reply is fine....I don't hate it.
I have a rough idea on what I want, but I would like to see if there might be something different other than my idea.

I was thinking 2 light stands and 2 clamps and 2 sawhorses.... and etc.

110 yards, I try to do a search on it before I post..... I must have over looked that thread... AWESOME! thanks.....

hahaha.. glad to hear Angel.

i'd love to go and test something out myself... but i need to do more research before going into design...

Go to Target, whatever, find a card table. The top is screwed on from underneath.
Take the top off and you have a frame to set the glass on.
Works like a charm and the legs fold to make it easy to store.
