    All of my design ideas for my wife's jewelry are done on post it notes. She's got all these post it notes in her notebook. Kind of pathetic!!!

    Jim, your drawing board setup looks really useful. Thanks for posting it.

    I took a basic mechanical drawing class in high school. I wish I would have taken drafting. I didn't realize at the time how useful it would have been. I can't really draw freehand but I can layout a project with pencil and paper.

    I like Sketchup quite a bit but paper still has some advantages. It may seem counter intuitive but it's sometimes easier to make changes on paper. Moreover, I can't sketch easily in Sketchup. Despite my dearth of drawing ability, I can still make rough pencil sketches and try out 4 different curves to see which looks best in 30 seconds. I can't easily or quickly do that on the computer.
