Project Information

I made this a few months back. Decided since I am usually on the computer whenever I do take time to sit down it would be nice to keep everything in one place. Made from poplar and walnut with golden oak stain and hand rubbed Danish Oil finish. After finishing it I found myself sketching new project ideas so made some drafting tools to match.

As always questions and comments are welcome.

Very nice, did you transfer patterns to make the drafting tools or use some other method? I might try my had at those too…

Thanks for the comments. I just used my plastic angles from my old drafting set for patterns. The T-square is just a mini version of my big one.

I like it Mark….

I had a little lap desk in college that I used in a drafting class… but yours is much nicer.

Thanks All,

Eddie a hand rubbed finish is not hard to do just takes a little more time.

Candy I used a bowl router bit for the pencil tray

Gorgeous. The one French curve sure looks like a Santa sleigh too.

Tools are fantastic.

As t seems plenty big too hold your laptop; a few interior dividers to keep things better in place when it is moved may be worth while.

Thanks rjR, Charles, Dean That little I-pad computer thing does not live anymore. I use a regular full size laptop now and it fits well.
