What is TIQ-Tagtool?

TIQ-Tagtool is the same kind of instrument as Tagtool or Tagtool Mini that I built.
TIQ-Tagtool is the combination of Tagtool and my CanvasTIQ. TIQ-Tagtool has the feature that allows Artist to see what he/she is drawing at the tip of the pen instead of looking at the LCD or the projected screen somewhere else, which is more natural way to draw.
Build:

First, I draw the layout plan on the sheet of tracing paper, using the scale of actual size. I measured all the dimension of the tablet. So I can map the active area of the tablet with the LCD screen.
See how to disassemble the LCD at CanvasTIQ build.
Cut the 1/8" thick Mesonite sheets to size. The blue sheet is 9"x12" acrylic sheet with 1/8" thickness.

Transfers the layout of the top panel and cuts the openning accordingly.
