What is a drafting board?

A drafting board, also known as a drawing board or a drafting table, is a specialized piece of furniture used by architects, engineers, and designers for creating drawings and sketches. It is typically a flat surface mounted on adjustable legs or a stand that allows users to work at a comfortable height and angle. Drafting boards come in various sizes and materials, with some featuring rulers, scales, and other tools for precise measurements and accuracy. They are commonly used for creating technical drawings, floor plans, and blueprints.
