Interesting thread! About 30 years ago I was a draftsman at Marquip, Inc. in Northern Wisconsin (They made equipment for the corrugated industry). Enjoyed my work but I left due to corporate politics and opened my art studio. Still have all my tools upstairs in a stack of boxes along with one of those nifty wooden tables.
Too easy to use Sketch-Up these days for the simple projects I make but if I ever have time to unpack I think I'll set it up again just for fun! Thanks for the trip down Nostalgia Lane...
