Station: [18] Technical Drawing


Every good idea starts with a drawing.

At first, it may be a freehand sketch. But as soon as the project starts to become real, you need a drawing board, set squares and compasses. Because a detailed drawing is the foundation of all further work. It can be used to convince a customer or client. It tells everyone in the workshop what they have to do, how much material they'll need and how much money the whole thing will cost. A really professional drawing on a specified scale is called a work drawing.
