Pencil Box

I took several drafting classes in high school. One of my first summer jobs was drawing machinery parts in a factory.
Since then I have always had drafting pencils, makers and a variety of tools used in drafting. Nowadays I draw mostly floor plans and ship plans.

Fascinating. I really like the engineering in a good pen or pencil.

Fantastic. I wish I had that skill. V

I took drafting and design classes and worked as an Interior Designer for a short while when I was younger. I found I didn't like people very much and decided to go into accounting instead. I can see your German neatness and penchant for compartments. :)

Did use some of them myself in the past.
Happy days to you and a creative New Year 2016.

You are so well organised Walter... I used to like Staedtler pencils back

That is a well equipped drafting equipment. I congratulate you for keeping it in order over the years.
My first job after college was drafting ship's structural details.

precision rules here...dazzling array of sharp looking instruments....now the inevitable clarity of your images comes into sharper focus....V

Wow, as a previous illustrator gone digital, I admire your collection of tools here. Never had the wireless eraser though and it does look extremely tempting.
Nice image Walter!
