The scale's probably the toughest bit
To make sure you don't mess up one measurement that then ruins your entire drawing. You could get a scale ruler.

do you find them useful?
I've seen them around, but wasn't sure if it was worth it. I just spent bloody £17 on an adjustable set square and £165 on a drawing board, so at least the ruler is cheap.

I don't use them, but I can do the maths in my head fine generally
I know a lot of folk that found them useful though, especially after using them a few times. Is that an adjustable angle set square? Never got round to getting one of those, or my own drawing board as I was being cheap and couldn't really be bothered. For £6, it probably wouldn't be bad if it helped you do things quicker.

thanks, I'll invest and see how it goes.
I'm not a maths person so I get paranoid and have to double check all my calculations every time so I don't fuck it up.
