Practical Drafting
View sample pages
Using the same method of instruction as our very popular
Complete-A-Sketch books, students learn by observing, reasoning and
doing. Designed to be an overview of many different applications to
drafting, this book can be used by students without any outside
instruction - a real plus to teaching parents who have no drafting
background. Is drafting a necessary skill? Some aspects are not as
essential as others, but the ability to draw 2D what you see 3D is
something your child will use designing a chicken coop, sketching a
raised vegetable bed, or illustrating a warm layette. Children will all
show different proficiencies in completing this course work, but,
unlike historical dates and chemical equations, this is knowledge that
is pertinent for a lifetime. Practical Drafting requires the tools
listed below.
This
book requires the use of many different drafting tools and supplies
that you will need to obtain. We elected not to supply them because
many families already have most of these tools in their home. Those
that do not can often borrow them from a friend or relative. If you
will have many children using this book, or if any of your children
show a great desire to pursue drafting, it will be worth your while to
invest in the best quality tools you can afford. Otherwise, inexpensive
drafting tools are as close as your local office supply store. Tools you will need:
- T-square
- English and metric scales
- Isometric circle template
- Triangle 45 x 45 x 90 degrees
- Triangle 30 x 60 x 90 degrees
- Bow compass with center adjust
- Mechanical pencil with .9mm, .7mm, .5mm and
- .3mm leads
- Eraser and erasure shield
- Drafting tape
- 11” x 17” paper
- Of course, a small drafting table would be especially nice too!
