I made my light box out of a plastic project box I lined with aluminum foil, a piece of translucent plastic cut from the side of a used, rectangular chemical jug, and some LED light strips (alternating warm and cool lights for better color) powered by a DC power adapter from an old cordless house phone. I like to hold on to those power adapters because I frequently find uses for them in projects. I use regular negative carriers from my enlargers to hold the negatives and mount the tripod above the light box. I use a small bubble level to get everything on the same plane.
