- 1). Draw a horizontal line an inch long.
- 2). Draw a second horizontal line an inch long. This line will be half an inch to the right and half an inch below the line you drew in step 1.
- 3). Connect the left point of the first line to the left point of the second line by drawing a straight line between them. Connect the right point of the first line to the right point of the second line by drawing a straight line between them. You have just drawn a parallelogram. This is the top of the drafting table.
- 4). Draw a vertical line 3/4 inch long, the top of which connects to the bottom right point of the parallelogram. This is the front right leg of the table.
- 5). Draw a vertical line 3/4 inch long, the top of which connects to the bottom left point of the parallelogram. This is the front left leg of the table.
- 6). Draw another vertical line 1 inch long, the top of which connects to the top left point of the parallelogram. This is the back left leg of the table.
- 7). Draw a final 1/2-inch-long vertical line protruding from the bottom of the table between the front two legs. Position this line in such a way that if you extended the line another half an inch on the top, it would connect with the top right point of the parallelogram. This is the back right leg of the table.
