Spears Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 On Autocad, fast, ugly and hardly ever dimensioned. Unless I go to construct the thing. Probably not what you're looking for, but responses to this post didn't seem to be picking up. This new way of making drawings in the world just taint what it used to be. Spears.

Glenn Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 I was wanting to see how others sketched or drew up preliminary work drawings. Different folks do things differently, was just looking for new ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FieryFurnace Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The stool is my first......not much but an idea! Never did it though. The sign bracket is a "one-of-these0days" sort of things...but with all the work to be done around here still, I don't get a whole lot of "extra forge time." The one below the sign bracket, is one side of a wood crib for out hearth. I drew that for the Clay Spencer traditional joinery class last year. I forgot to pack some peices though I couldn't make it. This year, I am redesigning the project, but I will keep the center piece. Mr. Clay's class is in November. I will post pictures when I get done drawing it. I'm not an artist, I've never had any lessons, but I'm learning. I drew my first free-hand scrolls the other day. On thing I do find is that if you know how to make the metal into the shape you want, it is easier to draw that shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borntoolate Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Haven't sketched much of anything. Mostly just dream it up while: turning the crank, driving, working, sleeping... Haven't done much that was very complicated though. I could see the scroll assemblies would need something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothBore Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 AutoCAD is my most useful "power" tool.( I like to know exactly where I'm going, before I start. ) And the ability to "play" with scale and proportion, ... without having constantly regenerate a drawing, ... is a huge time saver. .

Old N Rusty Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 when I sketch it is usually full size on my table, which is 96" x 96" x 2 1/4 " thick and weighs 5000 lbs + I won't mail that to IFI anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
