Preparation of Tools
Fastening Paper to Drafting Board
1. Place the paper close to the tables left edge. 2. Move the paper until its lower edge place about the top edge of T-square.
Fastening Paper to Drafting Board
3. Align the top edge of the paper with T-square blade.
4. Attach the papers corners with tape.
Fastening Paper to Drafting Board
5. Move T-square down to smooth the paper.
6. Attach the remaining papers corners with tape.
Sharpening the Pencil
1. Remove the wood with penknife while expose a
lead about 8-10 mm. 2. Polish the lead into a conical shape with a sandpaper.
3. Clean the lead with tissue paper.
Preparing the Compass
1. Sharpen the lead with a sandpaper. 2. Adjust the needle and the lead so that the tip of
the needle extends slightly more than the lead.

Using the Tools
Function of the Tools
Tools 1. T-square Shape to be drawn
Straight line
2. Triangles
3. Compass Arc, Circle 4. Circle template
Using the Compass
1. Locate the center of the circle by two intersecting lines. 2. Adjust the distance between needle and lead to a distance equal to radius of the circle. 3. Set the needle point at center.
Using the Compass
4. Start circle. Apply enough pressure to the needle, holding compass handle between thumb and index fingers. 5. Complete circle. Revolve handle clockwise.
Using a Circle Template
1. Draw two perpendicular lines that pass through center of
a circle to be drawn. 2. Place the template till all marking coincide with center lines. 3. Tracing the circle. (Hold the pencil normal to the paper.)

Construction line
Draw a Horizontal Line
1. Press the T-square head against the left edge of the table. 2. Smooth the blade to the right.
Draw a Horizontal Line
3. Lean the pencil at an angle about 60o with the paper in the
direction of the line and slightly toed in.
4. Draw the line from left to right while rotating the pencil slowly.
Draw a Vertical Line
1. Set T-square as before. Place any triangle on T-square edge. 2. Slide your left hand to hold both T-square and triangle in
position.
Draw a Vertical Line
3. Lean the pencil to the triangle. 4. Draw the line upward while rotating the pencil slowly.
Draw a line at 45o with horizontal
1. Place 45o triangle on the T-square edge and press them firmly against the paper.
2. Draw the line in the direction as shown below.
Draw a line at angle 30o and 60o
1. Place 30o-60o triangle on the T-square edge and press them firmly against the paper.
2. Draw the line in the direction as shown below.
Draw the lines at 15o increment
0 deg.
15 deg. = 30 + 45 deg 30 deg. 45 deg. 60 deg. 75 deg. = 30 + 45 deg 90 deg. Already demonstrated. Already demonstrated.
Draw the line passing through two given points
1. Place the pencil tip at one of the points. 2. Place the triangle against the pencil tip. 3. Swing the triangle around the pencil tip until its edge align with the second point. 4. Draw a line.
