Drawing for Wood-workers
PRACTICAL woodworkers should have training in draughtsmanship to enable them to prepare the drawings and details of the work which their hands will eventually create, and also to enable them to read the drawings and details prepared by designers.
There are ways of reading—a lack of spirit, punctuation, and tone may alter the gist or meaning of an author’s endeavours; similarly a proper appreciation and capability of reading a drawing or detail not only causes a woodworker to understand fully what is required, and his mind and work to harmonise with those of the designer, but assures a much better result in the object to be formed and enables the woodworker to prepare drawings, details and sketches which are necessary for his work, and which may be, in a practical commercial sense, of great advantage when it is necessary to submit deas to clients.
This section will illustrate and explain simple principles of drawing, and the leading of drawings, and will start at he beginning, so as to provide a course of training for woodworkers who are totally unexperienced in what should be an essential part of their training, and thereby enhance their value to themselves or to their employers, who greatly appreciate an employee who is qualified to use both tools and designing instruments with ability.
Practical draughtsmanship embraces the apability to draw in a manner that fully illustrates what is intended and required, but succinctly and without being laboured. This must not be taken to infer that a drawing should be rough, carelessly drawn or thought out, or inaccurate, or that many of the freedoms that a good draughtsman indulges in after much practice are to be sought by a beginner who for a considerable time must be slow, sure, accurate and neat and may need to take three or four times longer with a drawing than will be necessary after drawing principles and instruments are mastered. A good draughtsman should be capable of preparing a detail drawing in the shortest possible time with simple quickly-formed lettering for the purpose of showing what is required to say to a worker who is proficient in reading and working from a drawing. Also, when needs require a good draughtsman should be able to prepare an illustration of an article of woodwork that will represent to a lay mind what such article will truly look like when completed.
DESCRIPTION, PURCHASE AND
USE OF DRAWING IMPLEMENTS
There are only a few very necessary items, and, if convenient, it is advisable to obtain the best of them by purchasing a few at first, then one by one, until the lot are obtained. An immediate collection of a lot of shoddy instruments is not recommended, but the same amount of money expended on a lesser quantity of best quality is much more satisfactory. It is often possible, but not quite so easy as formerly, to purchase good quality instruments at cheap rates at a pawnbrokers.
In the following descriptions of the various items, the order in which they should be purchased and are necessary is consecutive from the first described article, the first few, of course, being of equal importance as regards acquisition. In the later pages will be described drawing materials such as paper, pencils, etc., or what may be termed consumable articles.

The Drawing Board and its Support and Position.—There are a few sizes and types of drawing boards on the market, and it is necessary to consider these to enable a draughtsman to choose the type best suited to his requirements.
The usual sizes are:—
Many students are advised to, or do, purchase the half-imperial size, which although suitable for most elementary work does not permit of much scope as regards the size of the drawing. The writer recommends that nothing smaller than imperial size be obtained, and preferably double-elephant, which will be found to be the most convenient size, especially at a later date when large detail drawings have to be prepared. Of course, a small drawing can be prepared on a large board. For all ordinary purposes it is seldom that a larger sized drawing than imperial is required, or that a greater width of paper than 30 in. is necessary, and a drawing board 41 in. long allows plenty of room, firstly, to allow the paper to be placed a few inches away from the running edge of the board, as shown by Fig. 1. This permits the left or T-square guiding hand to be kept clear of the paper, and so avoids rubbing it by the fingers, which however clean at starting of drawing become a little dirty later by sharpening pencils; and, secondly, allows a little space at the right-hand side of board for placing rubbers, pencils; note paper, inkstand, if these articles are not kept elsewhere, such as on a shelf under the drawing board or on a table or support of the board. (See "T-square" for practical hints as to length to use.)
The type of drawing board is the tongued-and-grooved board shown by Fig. 2, which should be made of dry best quality pinewood, and provided that a good quality board be purchased this type will be suitable to begin with, although the class and quality of board shown by Fig. 3 is to be preferred and
