Wasteful as I am, I go through a great deal of drawing paper. Redraws actually because I'm always making changes.
So, I never stop looking for places to buy paper that will be great for drawing AND, in my case, I have to be able to CAD draw on it, so it has to be on a roll.
I just picked up a few rolls from Office Depot.
For my use it's great paper, and cheap! #^
$6.00 and change if purchased on line.
Just thought I'd pass it on.

Excellent tip Charles....thanks. H^^

Glenn,
Out of the 4500 CL modelers, how many do you think design and scratch build?
Be interesting to have the brakedown on that 4500?

I forgot,
These rolls are 24" by 65', and 40lb paper.
So, for 40lb paper, not a bad deal.

LL~ Probably all 4500 in one sense. Some start with nothing and build something while others start with something and end up with .... ???? LL~ (I know, I know I should be ashamed of myself LL~ )

Be also interesting to know how many have computer drawing programs and have the ability to print the parts they draw?

I use an older version of AutoCAD, the small stuff I print on letter size paper the big stuff I send to a print shop. Would be nice to have a large format printer but hard to justify for no more drawing than I do.

Bob,
I'm guessing you send your AutoCAD file, correct?
I can send a file also, but I just put a pen in my plotter and it will draw away.

Okay!! Okay!! You win!! ;D My ability to print is limited to a pencil and a piece of paper!! :-[ Of course I do have to invest fairly heavily in scotch tape especially since I do my best designing in the "throne room" ..... Charmin isn't very tolerating of sharp #2 pencil lead!! LL~

Jim,
I start out with clean white paper. #^
Light lead pencil, then darker lead pencil eventually ink pen over that. Then ink pen of different colors so I don't get lost in lines. ;D
Possibly a placement of another clean piece of paper over an area taped in place because I am lost in lines. n~
Back to the lead pencil and ink pens of different colors.
Eventually thick magic marker, generally black. Too thick so now I need a redraw. HB~>
Toss everything and start over. ;D
Sound farmiliar?

Jim
Appropriate lead! ;D 8) ::) >:D

I gave away my K&E drafting machine long ago. Now it is easiest to use "Clearprint" 10 X 10 "fadeout" vellum. The grid lines eliminate the need for a drafting machine, or even a ruler except for diagonal lines!
I use 0.7 mm drafting lead, and skip the ink mess.

I should have said ball point pen.
Bic pens work.
I get my pens free at the bank.
