For all the drafters.. Still have them?

I remember using them in the drafting class I took. In hindsight, I wish I had continued. I enjoyed it, but I remember a class conflict.

Somewhere, but not sure where. Probably with the board and t-square. Know they were at the office before I retired, but that was almost 18 years ago.

Maybe

I thought this was about draft cards. Yes I still have my draft card, and my last classification card

I still have all that stuff. The eraser shield was a PITA to pick up. So I bent one corner, works great.

[bikeman564™]

I still periodically use this if I need lines to print on

[Kzoo]

Yes in a box somewhere.

[TrentonMakes]

Yes, yes, no - I don't know what the third thing is.

Bag full of eraser shavings.  Used to spread around on the paper so your triangles & templates slide around w/o smearing the lead.  I kept mine in a bar soap container

I lost my original stuff then bought a T-square, triangles, template, etc. to make the drawing we had to submit to the county's Inspections and Permits Department to get a building permit to convert part of an attached covered driveway to an enclosed tool room.

Those I lost in the house fire in 2020.

We referred to those as "scum bags"

Probably the only thing I don't still have.

I have 3 generations of tools laying around

I lost mine a long time ago.  

The only lottery I won...    Then 6 months before my date, the draft ended.

I may have some of my templates, etc...  probably in a box in my basement.

I was 2 S for August 1970, then 1 D until May 1972. 1 H after that

Saw it the other day as cleaning up, but don't see now for quick photo. From my drafting days, compas set, large and small, with extension rods and both graphite and ink drawing ends in a wooden case.

And how about your compass set?  I was a couple years into my career on the board when my dad found me a set with ivory handles in a velvet-lined wooden box.  3 sizes of compasses, a compass beam, pencil and ink tips for all, and dividers.  I have that up in my box of stuff somewhere as well.  That set was the cats mewo.

I had a really nice set that belonged to my father.  He gave them to me in 10th grade and I used them right through college.  I lent them to my brothers son when he was in high school and he lost most components.  I never got them back.

That's art.

I have some of Dad's, but it's not the complete set.
