Despite my best efforts to make my next machine shop project “simple”, I just couldn’t help myself but include ALL the features. As a result this one required a bit more engineering design than usual. So I decided to make a dedicated drafting video (i.e. without computer aided design software). I’ll walk through my personal design process starting with the pencil sketch. Then roughing out the assembly drawing. And finally putting together the technical drawing (blueprint) for each part. Along the way I’ll talk about the drafting tools (drafting machine, mechanical pencil, etc), techniques (pencil rolling, line types, etc) and view styles (section view, detail view, etc) I use. Enjoy!
