Kinna sounds like you want a school text book as I had in college, Basic Design Technology class. Don't recall the text book title.

Maybe check with your local college/university book store for something appropriate.

Check your local tech school, too.

I would doubt that drafting is taught anywhere anymore, any more than
advanced abacus accounting is.

One would be surprised. But some of the tech schools will have
some fundamentals textbooks.

I can't imagine that at tech school, in particular, would spend time
on such things. They have a very limited amount of time to train
students how to do real work. High schools, maybe. They teach
nothing useful anymore. Plenty of time, though wokism does take much
of the day.

Depends on the school. Renton Tech spends two years teaching you
the basics of Machine Technology, one year on manual machines getting
some idea what is happening, then one year learning CNC programming.
(Start out by plotting all the points for the tool path 'the rest is
easy'). If nothing else, as the instructors if they have any
recommendations.

I got 'essence of the revised version' of Fundamentals of Design
at the Community college, looked it up online. The book store had a
notorious markup. OTOH, they were less on the welding references than
buying them direct from the company.
