Holy Cow, it's been too many years since I tried something like that.(nearly 40) I completely forgot how involved it was. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Nice lettering BTW Phil. I always thought lettering and numbering was important and sloppy work in that respect spoiled an otherwise good drawing. Cheers
Thanks Phil for demo of the erasure shield for when I started mechanical drawing in 1962 at age 12.. Today, I do my erasing in split seconds with AutoCAD but for my mental relaxation I still draw in pencil by hand prototype designs in my spiral-bond three ring notebooks with grided paper. I still list the date on every page.
Thanks for sharing such great info! If at all possible, can you turn off auto focus? Or perhaps your camera has a focus lock? I hate missing any little details. 😊😊😊. Thanks again!
Great tip, thank you. I completely forgot about "auto focus" because I'm very rarely moving that much in my tutorials. Will implement this on the next lesson.
Hi Phil, I am loving this drafting series and hope it continues on. PS: I don't have an electric eraser, but I do have an air die grinder. I'll let you know how I get on ;-)
Watched the first video and couldn't remember how to finish the magic box for the small diameter compass points. In the second video I saw you use the 60 degree side of the triangle. Not sure if you mentioned that in either video. Took me back to 1974, 8th grade drafting class. Great stuff!
Great video I took isometric drafting in jr college before I changed tracts. I enjoyed it much and have decided to become a real draftsman now that in my 50's. I'm also studying traditional drawing techniques.
lets see i am 63 learned mechanical drawing from shop teacher at Rabun Gap Nacoochee School many years ago, BUT Since your center axis is not visible shouldn't it be drawn as a hidden line as well not a solid CL ?love your series! I have broke out my old drafting set and been following along, oh the things you can do once you retire lol great stuff
Sir it seems your perspective is what is irregular, as stated from the beginning video, these are "Mechanical Drawings" not works of art. mechanical drawings like these are done from a logical perspective, NOT a realistic one.. as art work which you describe are. and thus follow different guidelines than fine are does.

What happened to this series? I can only find three lessons.
Drawings have so much gravity when made with a drafting tool. It's like real metal is being milled.

Why don't u have close caption on your video?
Hi Phil
I tried to upload my uncles 1942 shop class drawings you might appreciate but couldn't

When shading, the artist must first decide from where the light comes. Your shading is irregular in that respect.
Okay, so show us how it's done!
