DRIVING THE TABLE

Drafting work is not that hard to do. At first you’d have to learn how to use the right instruments for the write purpose. Mechanical pencils, technical pens, special erasers, ink, tracing paper, triangles, t-squares and you. These are basically what’s needed for architectural designing.  Drafting is a little more like driving. One has to keep the instruments in mint condition. Every piece has its own purpose. As you sit down and drive to draft, you’d be experiencing smooth and rough roads. As one could always speed up as the drive gets smoother and smoother.

THE DRAFTING MAN

If we define the word through Google, we'd find out that the draftsman's nature of work is to translate a designer's ideas into a finished picture using drawing and drafting skills. So it doesn't necessarily mean that the draftsman would be the designer too. All the while an architect or a designer tend to give the draftsman the job of having his designs presentable. This means that a draftsman would have to do the drawings with the designer's approval or edits. So the designer would have to be the concept maker and the prime mover and thinker. In short, Draftsmen are individuals whose primary function is to provide technical support to the designers and engineers who work in construction.
