I really miss working at a drafting table. I loved having all that room
to work. Best of all, it's wonderful to work standing up at a drafting

spilled ink and knife cuts--still standing up.
I'll take the next incarnation of a drafting table. I wish I still had
the oak blueprint flat files that I had as a daybed with sofa cushions.
