I attached a rubber mat to the drafting table top using some contact cement. The real professional stuff is called Borco. I think that stuff is overpriced so I used dance floor covering. I've seen a black rubberized sheet at Lowe's (for under floors?) that looked like it would be comparable.

Instead of legs you can use file cabinets or some fancy rolling carts you can find at Ikea.

If you need an adjustable angle drafting table, you can rig up some rails. I hardly ever adjust the angle, but if I need to, I use phone books.

A gliding parallel straight-edge is a great addition to any drafting table.
