Technical Drawing

Cabinetmakers communicate using drawings.

In Interpreting Drawings (Competency 2) students learn to read drawings so that they can pull information like dimensions, joinery, and hardware from sets of drawings.

In Making Drawings (Competency 9) students learn to produce complete drawing sets.

We use Sketch-up for quick 3D modeling, and to produce detailed drawings.
