Description

Welcome to everyone interested in drafting and drawing instruments, and/or related tools and materials.

The Charter: This group provides an open forum for people who collect and/or use these beautiful instruments. We're here to exchange information, history, techniques, news, and anecdotes on all aspects of the subject. While many members are collectors, anyone with an interest in the subject is welcome to participate. We are always interested in hearing from people who have used these instruments and materials in their careers.

The Disclaimer: We only moderate membership. Messages are unmoderated, and I hope to keep it that way, so please exercise common sense and courtesy. You are welcome to post messages about items for sale or swap, but please refrain from using this forum to promote auctions or other commercial operations. Please note that any offensive, commercial, or off-topic posts will be deleted without notice.

Thanks for visiting and participating.
