Much more of that and I’m going to have to sharpen up some pencils for my return to teaching Machine Design.

Afraid some/all current Engineering Schools aren’t able to do much but promote that topic as a video game....Pull the plug outta the wall or delete the Cut/Paste functions and their “graduates” can’t function.

I’m happy to admit some of my best designs were done in chalk on the Machine Shop floor; we’d gather around to cut some metal to prove I wasn’t screwy then I’d send in a couple draftsmen (or ladies) to clean it up and copy it to the ‘puter.

...always got to check that work, eh.

Do I have to find a T-Square and triangles like I had in drafting class some 2 million years ago? :)
