[Elecraft] OT: High school drafting class, ~1975

I did take a Mechanical Drawing class in High School.  It was of some 
use in my EE classes in college, but mostly drawing lines for schematics 
at that time (1960 era) - a straightedge and a compass or plastic 
template for making circles (remember tubes) was all that was needed at 
that time.  We graduated to transistors in my senior year.

Those HS class skills were mainly unused for many years until I took an 
early retirement and started a custom woodworking shop. Then those 
skills gave me the ability to sit down with a customer and sketch out 
what they wanted in a perspective image, making changes until the 
customer and I were satisfied about what they wanted me to build.
