    DRAWING BOARD

    it is in this board where the drawing paper is placed. Here, the paper should be fastened with adhering
    tape to prevent the paper from any movement. It measures 24 x 36 inches and made with a smooth
    surface. The edge of the drawing board serves as the base of the triangle when projecting line or lines in
    the different angles. Using the T-square the edge of the board could be used as a guide in creating
    horizontal lines.

    TRIANGLES

    are used to project lines from a horizontal base, projecting isometric drawing as well as lines in an
    oblique drawing. It is usually made from light transparent celluloid materials.

    ERASER

    this instrument is used to erase unwanted marks on the drawing paper. It is usually made up of rubber.
    T- SQUARE

    is primarily used in projecting horizontal lines. The T-squares head could be detached or fixed. The lower
    edge of the T-square maybe used as a guide for cutting. The blade on its upper edge is called as the
    working edge. It is commonly made from celluloid materials with its straight edge and wooden blade.

    PROTRACTOR

    is commonly made from celluloid plastic. This instrument has a calibrated angle or degree ranging from
    0 degree to 360 degree. It is primarily use to plot angles on the drawing.

    DRAWING PENCILS

    is used to sketch drawings. There are different kinds of drawing pencil. They varies or classified in
    accordance with their grade of softness as well as in the hardness of their lead.
    TECHNICAL PENCILS

    is commonly used to finalize a sketch. The point of the technical pencil is classified in accordance with
    the thinnest of lines. The finest line came from the smallest pin calibration.

    FRENCH CURVE

    is usually used in order to project some irregular shape of curve in a particular drawing. These irregular
    shapes are made from various geometric curves.

    SCALE

    is usually used for measuring. With the used of this instrument, it is possible for us to reduce or enlarge
    the measurement of the drawing. The scale has metric and English calibration systems and graduated in
    decimals, feet as well as in inches.
    TEMPLATE

    is an instruments that has different shapes, holes as well as designs. It is used as patterns in projecting
    drawings of different shapes.

    DRAFTING TAPE

    the drafting tape is used to fasten the paper on the drawing board to prevent it from moving

    DUSTING BRUSH

    These dusting brushes feature wooden handles for the easy removal of eraser shavings, dust and dirt
    from drawings and/or drafting surfaces without smudging. 
    DIVIDER

    a drafting instrument resembling a compass that is used for dividing lines into equal segments or for
    transferring measurements

    ERASING SHIELD

    a drafting instrument resembling a compass that is used for dividing lines into equal segments or for
    transferring measurements

    PENCIL POINTER

    A pencil pointer which comprises a base, a cylindrical cutter mounted on the base, a rotatable pencil
    holder coaxial with the cutter and having a first guide means on said holder to guide the lead to a
    position adjacent the cutter, and a second guide means rotatably mounted above said first guide means
    and having a plurality of selectable openings of different diameters adapted to be rotated into registry
    with said first guide means. The pointer includes a lead cleaner.
