What you were looking for is a raise line drawing board. You can find it on the braille superstore or on Amazon for about $15.

There may be someone who sells them but you could go down to the hardware store and get some metal window screen, a clipboard or some other type of cheap, flat board, and some duct tape and make your own for less than $10, $15 at the Max.
