Lofting supplies

August 03, 2009

A short trip to Lowes Depot yesterday, and I have what I need to start lofting the model:


  • Sheet of plywood to draw on
  • Some furring strips to stiffen the drawing sheet and create a baseline to rest my measuring sticks on
  • Cheap 2*4s to turn into another set of sawhorses
  • A sheet of spare plywood to brace my old and new sawhorses
  • New colored pencils
  • New carpenter's pencils

I have the rest, although I still have to rip battens.

Oh, and the sharpener that came with the pencils was useless. I had to sharpen them with a utility knife.
