Heading into retirement, I have a T Square, drawing board and drafting tools I don't think I've used in 35 years. With the advent of CAD I suspect these things are obsolete as typewriters today. But do they have any value or are they just trash can fodder?
Imagine a complete, top of the line bar-and-rail drafting machine, with degree-indexed rotating "square head," plus pivoting table, with the borco vinyl surface covering (which was $100 by itself back in our day) .. was happily given to me by a local civil engineering firm who just wanted the darned thing gone from their office..
In that sense a T-square and table, triangles, architect and engineer's scales no longer have a dollar value.. maybe some good Schaefer compasses, dividers, or circle oval hex templates, can have *some* usefulness.
A daycare center might enjoy the templates..
You *could* ask your local High School Vocational-Technical department, but they likely have already switched to digital..
...you could try a senior center (if they have someone with the background and the space) or a youngster really wants to draft by hand.
I hate to say it, but hand drafting is gone from educational and commercial use, except for us dinosaurs.. I'm 56 and still enjoy handdrafting my drawings..
..but everything can be done better digitally at a desk with a keyboard and mouse, or drawing tablet and stylus..
