Well, I'm not kidding when I say I want to learn how to Engineer my own
stuff.. I don't see how setting-up a proper set of construction drawings can
be illegal, I didn't say stamp my own drawings (which is the illegal part).
But I am stating that if I were to spec my own sources, this could show more
effiency in my drawings and thus increasing the popularity of my work.
I'm sure that sounds more like a dream than a reality, but for piece of
mind I'd like to know that I did as accurate a job as I could possibly do.
Now as I mentioned before, I've had Engineer's work with me, and they've
tried to teach me basic Engineering skills to create an easier atmosphere
for themselves. Plus getting proper sizes gives the client a better idea of
what their final product will look like.
