What a great lesson for the youngsters out there. I was in high school when computer aided drafting first came out, but I always love doing it by hand.

Hey Kevin, Great Video, I loved it. As a Grade 9 Tech teacher I still instruct manual drafting to my students as we take on Sheet Metal Projects and it is a Skill that years later the students always thank me for teaching a classic skill. Cheers and I saved 100's of tools from the school trash.

I'm in beginning landscape design and your video with you narrating helped me out a whole lot ! I was so confused until I came across your video . Thank you

[brandonbias]

Hey thank you for passing the knowledge I can see the details mean a lot to you .and I greatly appreciate you sharing I am trying to develop this kind of technicality in my personal work space..looked at a couple of videos and you're more my speed and attention to detail not rushing to tell me how to use the tool more explaining the uses of the tool again thank you

[blueblimp]

I was curious to see what manual drafting looks like, so this was perfect. Thanks!

I learned this technique in high school and made a living at a marine engineering busines years before I ever heard of CAD.

Nice video. I really liked seeing your collection of projects. I would encourage folks to stay away from the chinese made stuff for reasons to numerous to mention. One would do much better with Staedtler Mars 661 boards made in Germany. If price is an object, just get a t-square and a smooth board with some perpendicular staight edges.

Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing. It would be nice if you could zoom in closer then explain what your doing and how to use the tools.

Kevin. really like the video. Next year I want to teach 5th graders some very basic design for drafting just so they can experience and touch the tools. (Not a draft or engineering background on my part FYI)
Do you have a technique for teaching how to center a drawing. For example one lesson plan would be to draw a 7" by 5" "house border" plus an 2"x 2" garage attached to the house. Could you show how to center any project from the start of the project? Sorry for the naive question

I keep expecting to hear Mr Rogers talk to me.

Is manual drafting even used anymore ?
