Drafting machine?
In spite of having used CAD programs for many years (TurboCAD is my most
recent tool, and let's not have this degrade into a Sketchup war, shall we?) I still resort to (and enjoy!) using pencil and paper for many of my design activities. I used my Dad's drafting board, T-square, and triangles for many years, and I still have fond, fond memories of taking drafting class in high school, one of the two most useful classes I ever took (typing being the second; and man was that Mrs. Utz a hottie!). Unfortunately, I no longer have a decent drafting table, the T-square is long gone, and all I have left are a few triangles and my drafting pencils and a sharpener. I'd like to rectify that, but then again ever since taking drafting class I always had a hankering for one of those fancy drafting machines (like this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Zeichenmaschine.jpg). Does anybody own one? There are lots of them for sale on eBay; any recommendations? -- If it ain't perfect, improve it... But don't break it while you're fixin' it! To reply, eat the taco. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bbqboyee/ |
