Snap! I’m in middle of doing just that (minus solidworks & cnc) I found an instructable on doing putting laptop LCD screen over a intuos. Got my brothers old laptop and picked up a 12x12 intuos 2. Had it running on kitchen table last night ( in non-electrically safe fashion), just waiting on new inverter for screen. Going to set it in a large piece of acrylic I’ve had lying around forever.
I still don’t get why wacom’s are still so expensive - I thought their patents expired already?
