How cool is this?! Remember being taught these techniques in Jr. High during Geometry class (which I loved!) but that was somewhere the other side of a half-century ago and the tools we used weren't nearly this precision. In High School, I'd walk past a drafting class (wasn't sure what it was then) and shyly peer in hoping the teacher might say 'come on in, can I help you?' so I could ask if girls were allowed to be in that class and if we needed special requirements to attend (like math grades), but no... never did so I kept on walking. It's a shame since it's been an interest all my life and something I'd have truly enjoyed learning. Instead, I taught myself digital compositing when old enough to afford a 21" Cintiq and computer to use it with. My guy is a Mechanical Engineer so he learned ALL this stuff and had a huge drafting table built in his office for blueprints used for refinery work. He is so amazing...
It is a problem in particular with melamine surfaces, professionals use a vinyl surface that holds the compass point in position. The other way is to use thicker paper that doesn't tear so easily. Thin tracing paper can be a nightmare because it becomes brittle.
***** I found a way that worked for me with the tools I had. A scale rule, a T square, an adjustable 45deg square and a 30-60deg square. You might find it easier to work in another way with different tools. Experiment. As long as the drawing gives the right information it's all the same. It is midnight here and I'm off to bed, good luck!
u have 2 use a different scale for measurements called as triangular scale... or measurement scale..... t scale and set square aren't supposed to be used for measurements...!!

Fantastic awesome brilliant tools

This is great.
Hi, where did you get that from?
How do you avoid poking a hole in the paper when drawing a circle with the compass?
It's an A2 board by Blundell Harling Ltd, UK. Called Challenger, catalogue number 0524.51
What is the name of the board you use?
How would u measure the length of it
Watching 2020 🤗
Very helpful. thank you
mike or mic which one?lol
how would you measure a length of a line when you don't even have markings on the side of your set square???
You would use a ruler. If you are drawing to scale then you would use the right scale ruler.
wouldn't it be easier to have markings on your set square?
*****
You would need a different set square for each scale that you use. On a single scale rule you can get 4 or 6 scales on one rule.
but if you are only drawing to one scale would you recommend using and adjustable set square or 2 set squares?

please tell the tech guys 2 hand you a decent mike
Your clever demonstration deserves better audio
Hi
loved it
God the audio is terrible it hurts with headphones

I fell asleep before the end of the video zzzzzzzzz
Nice audio
lol
simply we call drawing board

Booom yea!!!!
I fucking HATE digital distortion .
my ears.......bye
