Update 2021-08-30 (revised 2022-01-21): added a few time stamps and notes (click "Show more..." below.
Draw a 1/2" border around the drawing sheet and add a 3/4" title block at bottom for the drawing information to be entered: • Assignment number & title (shortened as needed) • Roster number & First and Last name • SFSU DES 320 Trogu • Drawing due date. Video shows how to draw the lines free-hand using the edge of a board as a guide (carpenter's method). Use tools, straight edge and/or drafting triangles if you already have them, otherwise use the free-hand method.
02:43 The assignment drawing # and assignment title can go into the same first block, without a vertical line separating them (see course assignment page for current sequence).
10:30 Mention of future exercise (video) which shows how to do lettering. This link goes to various lettering excercise materials: res.trogu.com/drafting/lettering/lettering.html
12:04 The date on the drawing should be the due date.
