When You Decide to Quit SketchUp...

...you should get this:
-
I still have one of these and use it sometimes.
-
I thought you were going to suggest Crack as it's far less addictive.
-
that's probably cheaper than the table I showed, too.

It's a SketchUp model rendered in Kerkythea.
Just kidding. It's real. This is from the source:

Nike Hydraulics
$19,500
ca 1940
steel and acrylic
Swedish[i]"This restored drafting table was made by Nike Hydraulics
in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The base, drawing arm and light
are made from nickel plated steel and the base has a
hydraulic mechanism. It pivots, angles and moves up and
down to a minimum height of 5’ and a maximum of 5’-10”.
It includes a drafting arm, adjustable light and a 41”x 60”
acrylic top." -
I love my drawing board! Will never give it up....
-
Snagged parallel motion, blocked Roterings, eraser bits everywhere, Pounce! COW GUM!!!... Ahh! happy days!
-
aaaaaaaah....those were the days
I have just recently moved into new office premises and it is a little smaller than my previous one.
Then, I had two Mutoh boards with adjustable parallel motions, I had to part with one of them when I moved. It was a sad day. I kept the other, not because I use it very often, but because it's like a security blanket, and it brings back fond memories of the skills of draughtsmanship.

I have not drafted in probably 15 years. Definitely miss it.
Fun fact... the drawings for alot of tv/film sets (in NYC anyway) are still all hand drafted. I was shocked when I got into the biz and came across this. Some really impressive drawings skills too.

I probably did some of my best work on the drawing board. One had to be economical with the views, unlike today's 3D modelling suites where views are generated by a mouse click.
