I’ve wanted to get a drafting table for a couple years and finally set out in buying one. There’s a printing supply shop called Byco in Cranford which had everything I needed plus more. The table was $350 and the chair was $100, but definitely an investment worth making. I’ll probably own this for decades to come and even have it around for my kids, who could use it with homework or designing anything their little minds could imagine. But for now, this is helpful to build up a portfolio. Everyone should own one. Sitting behind one, you can’t help but be in awe of the designers who came before you and the magic they created with the simplest of tools.

I had this goal in mind for a while and over time, I just sort of collected the items, from either Christmas, Gift Cards, and Money earned. Finally, last month I got a Bike trainer. For an alternative Cardio, I can mount a bike to be stationary and ride on it like an exercise bike. Bought an adjustable bench and dumbels over time with money I earned. Got a Tower for Christmas, that was awesome, I said forget anything else, and it was only $130. With a pull up bar, ab leg left, dip bars, and crunch cushin on the floor, it was a great addition. I bought a Swiss ball, a Mat for the floor, and a Foam roller to stretch certain muscles. I know diet and exercise by heart. And have read extensively on it for class and personal interest. For a year, I made it a great habit, and made quick progress. Just need to get the steam going again.
Will upload image after I paint garage.
