I just opened my drawer under the computer and pulled out my Keuffel & Esser Beginners Slide Rula 4058W. On top of it was a small protractor. Downstairs I have French curves and I think somewhere I may have a Leroy Lettering Set which I used to make graphs for my boss’ journal papers. I even have one or more drafting sets, not as complete is the one shown here. No I am NOT A PACKRAT! heh heh, I just want to be ready for the next Carrington Event.

A lot of tips here that need to be posted to prepper group. I’ve also made an effort to acquire a manual counterpart to every electrical tool I have. I’m also going to increase my stock of WD40 and 3-in-1 oil.
