Hello! I am from Russia. I am studing landscape design. Thank you for important videos. I will watch your videos further.

I have that same parallel glider but my rubber wheels were never grippy enough for it to stay on track. It very easily moves out of "track" and the lines are never truly parallel as a result.

[@VE3AVA]

your rubber may need to be rehydrated. If you very lightly apply some basic cooking oil (or mineral if you have it) and let it completely dry/absorb it may help. Add sparingly as an oil drafting table is less than ideal.

Thank you so much for the great videos! I'm really curious as to why you have a penny taped to your glider, is it so it's easier to move?

[@EricArneson]

The pennies are a simple/cheap trick to keep a small gap between the surface of the plastic and the paper so that ink pens don't bleed at the edge. It works great and can save your drawings!

@@EricArneson great, thank you so much, I'm having troubles getting clean hatches on my drafts, this will definitely help!

[@Raymondvanderploeg]

Hello Eric, I ordered almost every tool you also use even the paper. I have still a question, if you landscape design is ready, do you also print on normal paper to show it to your customer? Regards, Raymond

[@EricArneson]

Yes i sometimes print the final renderings with digital labels. Sometimes we also send the scanned renderings digitally over email.

[@greytcat]

great video, thank you! what kind of surface are you working on?

[@EricArneson]

Thank you, it is a self healing cutting mat.

[@kathrynweeks7061]

@@EricArneson Do you recommend a drafting table or drafting board to work on or just place this mat on top of a regular table?

[@EricArneson]

@@kathrynweeks7061 i highly recomend the cutting mat since it is a great drawing surface that can be placed on any table.
