CAD and Carlson Hull Designer

Hopefully, that I can extract all of my finished designs from old hard drive in my fried PC..

Waiting for Anti-virus program finish scanning the whole disk, I mean it is in a deep, deep scanning mode..

Those programs I use for drawing up designs are very handy to have, I just wish there an inkjet printers that can handles large papers up to 34" X 44" or 841mm X 1189mm and uses non-water soluble inks...

That way I can print out my plans and sell..

Wide or Large Format printers ain't cheap for small guys like myself..

I ended up printing multiple 8.5" X 14" pages..

Back to topic on CAD and Hull Designer..

I find it so much fun creating my own designs.. At a scale of 1-1/2" to 12", I can prints out some patterns to build test models.. Yes, boat models that is.. I almost got a roomful of them..

Here is one, playing with it in our pool

And few other test models

Building a model help save money, griefs and embarrassment getting caught "sitting in a moanin' chair"..  Not once I sat in one, I'll walk away for a moment like a day or two.. then come back to it freshly full of ideas..

 

More later...

Here is few of my line drawings
