Drafting equipment--where to get it
Yesterday I got a list for my Stagecraft class of the drafting supplies I'll need.
Among the things on that list are H, 2H, 4H and 6H drafting pencils, an architect scale,drafting paper without pre-printed lines, drafting tape, eraser sheild, triangles,... I'm trying to order a lot of these supplies from online, because I don't have a car, so my first question is, does anyone know of a good art/drafting supply store online where I can find a lot of these things in one place? Second, I have a question about the pencils. On all the websites I've visited so far, drafting pencils are listed interchangably as drawing pencils, and my prof. told me that I need to make sure that the pencils I get are drafting pencils, not drawing pencils...So I'm wondering, is there a huge difference between the two? Would it really matter if I got a set of these pencils that are listed as Drafting pencils and advertised as drawing pencils? Thanks!

i would think drawing pencils would be softer and drafting would be harder therefore staying more fine

Try like officemax.com and stuff. I'm sure they ship stuff.

I've tried officemax, to no avail. I'm getting seriously discouraged. I've been searching all day.

Okay, well that narrows things down a little. Also, what does an architect scale look like, so that I know what I'm looking for?

Like a triangular cross section with architectual scales on each edge.

Alright, well now that I have a better idea of what I need, where should I look for it?
