I’m following along with the Drafting course on the Porcelynne website, and I’m learning new tricks and tips.
The first one I want to share with you is something you’ve probably heard about: A flexible ruler.
I’ll be honest. I bought one of these after reading it would help to do a root trace. It didn’t help me with that at all. Not one little bit. At least it didn’t help me at all.
However, watching the course I saw a brilliant use for it! Use it to measure along the curve of the wire line. Really brilliant!
I just curve the ruler along the curve of my circle and mark where I need to mark. It’s so much easier than bending a flexible ruler, trying to hold it with one hand, and then mark with the other.
I will no longer view this as a useless item I picked up. This is really great!
Happy creating!
I’ve had one of those for years, but I only use it to play with when I’m thinking.
That would be something to do with it. I really didn’t find it of any use for a root trace, but it’s really great for measuring a circle!
