Picked up a used drafting table from the 80s and it changed my workflow

I grabbed this old drafting table off Facebook Marketplace last weekend for $40. The surface tilts way better than my current setup and the parallel bar is a game changer for straight lines. I just got done sketching a duct layout for a warehouse remodel in Phoenix and it cut my time by maybe 30 percent. Anyone else using older gear that just works better?

Yep, parallel bars are worth their weight in gold for ductwork layouts.

You're spot on, @charlesanderson, I'd be lost without them.
