You should make more videos on old school house plans. I’ve been teaching myself from old house plans I’ve found and recreating home or making my own. I would definitely like to learn more about it.
Are you just wanting to be able to interpret the floorplans and know what all the symbols mean or do you want to know how you would frame a house off of the floorplan drawing? If you can give me some more specifics, I'll see what I can do.
We used to draw with drafting boards with parallel rules and all in my school before learning CAD, it's kind of a pain in the a** because they expected the drawings to be spotless, so if you made a mistake you had to start all over again, it did help to be more efficient when drawing in the computer though
This was more of a demonstration on how to use the drafting instruments for drafting the plans. Graph paper is easier, but by this point, I want students to move past the graph paper and start to draft on larger pieces of paper if we are working on the boards instead of using CAD.
Yep, It is definitely old school. Sometimes you use the resources you have on hand. This activity is done more to help students (ages 13-16) practice taking measurements, using the 1/16th scale rule, and laying out lines on paper. If I was traditional board drafting I would use my triangles and I have lots of scale rules but I was happy with students in this class being able to successfully use a 1/16th scale rule. Of course, I hope that these students will also be interested in going on and using CAD programs to draw and design in as well. Different skill sets. Different exercises for brain, hand and eye coordination. Thank you for your comment.
The rest of the world uses the metric system, why does the US use the old imperial. So behind the time. It is mischievous more accurate and easy to use.

This is awesome. I’m a former drafting engineer student that left the trade years ago but I’m getting back in it. This brought back memories
This is what a teacher is supposed to be!!!

I have exams tomorrow, I’ve learnt more here than in the classroom 😅‼️
Wow that's a lot of great works and am happy leaning
I feel like youre talking to me. Im also answering here. 😂
you learn something new everyday
Thank you!
You're welcome!
nice job
Wouldn't graph paper be easier to use in the demonstration?

Where do you get this sort of paper?
Any paper supply or art store would have it. It’s a size “B” mechanical drafting size.
wow.this is REALLYold school!...HE DOESNT HAVE A SCALE RULE!i CANT BELIEVE HE DOESNT HAVE A TRIANGLE INSTEAD OF turning his t square around

I pose this very question to my students all the time. Why does the US use the old imperial system?
I want to learn how to make floor plan
