JerryNRea Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) I am interesting in finding a drafting/drawing board to do architectural drawing. I am in Marikina in metro Manila and am tire of hearing that ,"It is not available" Anyone know of an office supply store with those near here ?

Dave Hounddriver Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I don't even know anyone who uses them anymore. Kind of like an abacus these day. I use Sketchup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Sketchup I'm Old School, used them in high school and college. using the computer is fine but finding a program and graphics is more of a pain than sitting in the quiet with a drafting board and pencil. like the saying goes,'Keep It Simple' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just that my idea of simple is "Plug n Play" not search all day. Here's to old school! Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Old55 Posted February 15, 2018 Forum Support Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) I respect your dedication to craft. I’m old enough to remember all our prints and drawing were handmade. I’ll make a quick orthographic sketch at work once in awhile and the youngsters will think it’s some kinda magic trick.
