In drafting we are starting Unit 7, which is where you learn to make Orthographic Projections, which are 3 view drawings.This is a difficult concept to master, but it is the standard for mechanical drawing. Remember to look at each drawing project as a puzzle that needs to be solved!
In Manufacturing we are finishing up the unit in shop math. It is so important that you learn to apply math to solving problems in manufacturing. Math is as important a tool as your hammer and saw, and learning to read a ruler is a fundamental skill that you will have to master. In the shop we are finished manufacturing the pieces for the bookshelves, and now you will need to make the lap joints, and assemble and finish your bookshelf.

This has been a difficult class but if you do well and never give up you'll have an easy A.

In order to learn how to read a ruler, you have to be familiar with the little symbols on the ruler that represent the unit used for measurement. You have to be careful with units; since there is no universal metrical system used in all countries, you have to figure out what is the unit of the ruler. Usually a ruler denotes the unit used - if you are in the US it is probably inches, in Europe and Asia it is cm or mm. That is easy to find out; it will be there, on the ruler.
