Interesting. Much faster (and better) than I could do; they did not teach us hand drafting when I was in school, and instead we used CAD software. I find CAD to be better for new production, and especially for things like 3D printing CAD is a necessity.
But I still find that having some decent hand drawing skills, and being able to sketch half-decent profile, iso, and sectional views is invaluable for communicating ideas at the first stages of design, and also for reverse engineering or modifying purchased parts for which original drawings are not available. Of course, your drawing is certainly a fair amount better than "half-decent", but even with my rusty drafting skills it's still the route I would prefer for a comparable situation.
P.S. Love the look on the maroon "Packup". I remember still discussing it at your shop around a year ago when it was mostly done. Certainly has come a long way! And the new design reminds me of this Patrician.
