I bought a fancy drafting machine for home and barely touched it

Spent over $600 on a big manual drafting machine thinking it would help with side projects, but honestly I just use my computer for everything now. Has anyone else bought old school gear that ended up collecting dust?

Remember how they used to teach drafting in high school shop class? That whole skill set is basically gone now, which is kind of sad. Your machine is a piece of that dead tech history. Maybe just keep it as a cool artifact, like an old typewriter.

Six hundred bucks for a glorified ruler? Ouch.

Actually, that price makes sense for a proper tool. It's built to last and gives super accurate measurements. You're paying for quality that won't let you down.
