Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I had a full track machine (from Ontario Hydro) and drafting table another source that I used during my University Days (lots of drawings back then) all done by hand. Got rid of it about 8 years ago.
Still have my drafting pens and Lettering machine for doing drawings with a complete set of letter sizes.
Glad I use CAD now.

Another one in Markham (thanks facebook algorithm). A bit nicer looking, you might be able to sneak it past the mrs as part of the living room decor. No drafting machine though.

I never did any hand drafting. Our highschool was gutted of the trades courses aside from wood shop. When I got to college it was all cad. Although our first year "drafting" class was all 2d drafting in autocad. Same principles, just on screen. After that we moved into 3d modeling, and derived views from that and I've never looked back. I still like hand sketching things, but I don't go as far as a proper layout. I use CAD for that, it's WAY quicker. With my recent blacksmithing addiction, I find myself hand sketching stuff I want to make a lot more though.
Funny enough, my kids probably know more about using a drafting machine than I do. My FIL has one in his basement workshop, and the kids are always down there building stuff, and drawing things.
