A good way to sketch and make notes

These whiteboards, complete with a pen, can be bought from 'The Works' or similar shops for £3 or so.

I have one above every machine and a few to spare. It is much easier to work from a drawing whilst machining as you can read straight off the wall. Reading notes from scraps of paper or the back of cigarette packets is a thing of the past!

If you decide to use these boards, don't fix them permanently to the wall, just hang them on a hook so they can be taken anywhere.

Notes you can carry to other machines or elsewhere ....
