I know we all have car art plastered around where we work all day, whether its an office, shop, tool box. I work out of my basement office and every wall has car art. (plus one spooky dog under the desk!!)

Cool stuff, but waaaaay too neat - - - you trying to embarrass us? Just kidding ! What caught my eye was the T-square on the wall - - - - I used to be a draftsman and I haven't seen one of those in years. Most stuff is Auto Cad or even more advanced now. Hardly anyone works on a Table anymore

Actually, that is my T-square (and slide rule) that I used back in late 60's. As you say, I now do AutoCad (which is what I've been doing all morning !) I'm trying to retire before I have to learn 3D and BIM

I got out just as Auto Cad was taking ahold of the Drafting Business. I had a Drafting/Graphics Co. downtown Houston and worked mainly for the small Oil Companies that didn't have a draftsman on staff. When I was in the business we did it all by hand (ouch I'm old). My oldest son is a geo-tech now and they even give him an override - - - - - that was unheard of when I was in the Bizz.

Didn't mean to hi-jack your thread - - sorry !
