Here's a peek inside a few of the personal effects and tools I use to run 30X40 each day. This is a sampling of my favorites, there are more of course, I'm interested to hear what makes your 'essentials' list.
Sources can be found here: thirtybyforty.com/architects-s...
As presented in the video, they are:
1) Muji A5 dot
2) Pentel's Sign Pen (black + gray)
3) Bienfang 12" x 50 yd trace
4) Froebel blocks
5) Alvin 12"x18" self-healing cutting mat
6) OLFA L-2 + 18MM blades (the L-2 has the rubber handle, which is nice...)
7) C-THRU cork backed, stainless steel ruler (6"/12"/18"/24" lengths)
8) Guitar Strings (D'Addario Extra Heavy - Drop C tuning is my favorite as the gauges are heavier)
9) Gaffer's / Painter's tape
10) Canon pancake lenses - 24MM + 40MM provide great variety. NOTE: these are not zoom lenses, these are fixed focal lengths - that's important! Future video to describe why...
What are your favorites?

A revisit some months later, I received much enjoyment on learning from you! Semper Fi

I bought some Pentel sign pens after watching this and I have to say I've tripled the amount of hand sketches I do. They are a perfect tool. Inexpensive, unpretentious, and effective. Thanks for the recommendation.

@30by40 6 лет назад

genius implements, right? glad you like them...now you'll need one or two in every room...for the rest of your life...

@philareilly 8 лет назад

This is excellent. I'd also love to hear about the software you use, and how and when they enter into the design workflow.

@30by40 8 лет назад

Great idea...will do...cheers...

@ramram8979 5 лет назад

Did this video ever happened?

@30by40 5 лет назад

Yes, I made two: CAD Drawings + TEMPLATE tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xsbFQR_k2eY.html And: Residential architects software workflow ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pb_ym1h7eEg.html

@30by40 7 лет назад

Hi +Robert Mercado, glad to have you join us...lots of content to dig into here...

@stevewhite2791 6 лет назад

I work for a large commercial practice and these tools are used everyday alongside all the expensive hardware and software software packages. I'd add a good tape measure and a scale rule to the list also.

@ElrondBurrell 8 лет назад

Love the toolset overview, thanks Eric. Intrigued by the laser cutter you mentioned, any details of it in your other videos or blog posts?

@30by40 8 лет назад

Thanks Elrond... you can see the laser cutter at work in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xMrh8wVADLs.html (around the 1:28 mark) It's a 40W CO2 model made by FSL...a future video to show its capabilities would be fun...

Trace, nice 👍... I just use parchment cooking paper 😂. I’m 16 and hope to become an architect. Have to work with what I got!

@MaZEEZaM 7 лет назад

I am about to look through your videos to see if you may have already done this. But what would be awesome if it was possible if you could show us or create a mock client scenario, from design phase to complete model showing us all the steps. I realise this would be a lot of work on your part but it would be really great if you could do this.

@danielthebassist2401 6 лет назад

U earned a subscriber because maybe I will gonna take architectural course after my highschool :)

@30by40 6 лет назад

thanks for the sub...welcome!

@fabroc8 7 лет назад

Hey Eric! two questions here... First, would you consider doing a video showing models of your projects and talking about model making? And second, what do you do with all your models after they've accomplished their job? Because it's really not green to dump them all away, so I try to recycle them when I can. I had a profesor who hanged them on his office wall (when they were small enough of course) so I started doing the same with the ones that I really liked. Thanks for reading!

@30by40 7 лет назад

Cheers...a model making video is in the production cue, I've had a number of requests for one. Stay tuned... RE: the models, small ones hang around on top of my bookshelves, others I simply have to photograph and then recycle (or schedule a cathartic model burn, which my kids enjoy). I love the look of a studio adorned with models on the walls, but I've never had the critical mass to properly achieve the aesthetic.

@gaelhillyardcreative 5 лет назад

@@30by40 Well you won't if you keep burning them :)

@laurapiovan 7 лет назад

Love it. Subscribed. It wasn't very clear to me what you actually do with guitar strings. (I am a guitar and bass player myself, but never felt compelled to use the strings for a model)

@30by40 7 лет назад

I use them for thin structural or non-structural elements: cross bracing, handrails, tie-rods, door pulls, columns, screens, etc....cheers...

@albertadomako3921 6 лет назад

@JamieACD 7 лет назад

where do you store you "essentials" ? For example your cutter, transparent paper and pens. Do you have a little bag or regal/shelf for it?

@30by40 7 лет назад

Where can I buy these Froebel blocks? Can't seem to find them (from the UK)

@lestermatos2227 7 лет назад

are there any affordable froebel blocks because the set is extremely expensive, also in terms of scale what is their approximate 1/16"=1'?

@30by40 7 лет назад

Try these: amzn.to/2rnqDBv Or these: amzn.to/2sGrX6j For rectangulars: amzn.to/2t9O8zi

@nicolasfredette8564 6 лет назад

Lester Matos He said that they are versatile, so you can make a block equal to a kitchen cabinet or dishwasher, etc. or make it equal to an entire building ! :)

@AlGangstaVlore 6 лет назад

1st of all I thank you for the content of the video. 2nd I've noticed in some of your videos that you use Autofocus or even Automatic settings in the camera. Well, I would recommend you to fix it in Manual or Aperture Priority Mode, so the focus will be stable and if you fix the ISO (or define a margin) the quality in the video will be way better and we wont see the the disturbance in the background. Hope it helps.

@30by40 6 лет назад

it does, thanks for the feedback...always looking to improve the quality of things here on the channel...hoping you caught me in a learning phase...have you seen any of my recent vids? when i crank open the aperture, the autofocus hunts on a narrow focal plane...so to prevent this from happening (it really bothered me too!) or keep it to a minimum, i've since purchased studio lighting which allows me to close down the aperture and increase the focal plane. does that sound like the right approach?

@AlGangstaVlore 6 лет назад

I do agree, and your latest videos are a lot better. Keep going!

@PinwheelHomes 8 лет назад

Eric, where do I find the video on documenting your work, that you mention when introducing the lenses? Why did only present the lenses, not alongside with the camera? At first I thought you may be using them to get better perspectives when looking through your models.

@30by40 8 лет назад

Thanks for watching...I'll be shooting the video describing my camera equipment for an upcoming episode. I did mention the DSLR I use, but as I was recording with it I couldn't show it. Stay tuned...

@saii221 3 года назад

secret? good luck with gatekeeping

@timlee5146 8 лет назад

Regarding item 7, I highly recommend an AlumiCutter (www.alumicolor.com/product/alumicutters.htm). The raised edge is especially helpful when you're using a larger Olfa blade. As someone who's cut their finger pretty bad using the C-THRU at first, I found that the AlumiCutter does a significantly better job protecting your fingers.

@30by40 8 лет назад

Fantastic...thanks for the suggestion... First-year architecture student injury confession: my trusty OLFA took a bite out of my left index finger on a late night. Five stitches later, I learned that keeping a sharp blade and tilting it slightly out of vertical kept it on track. AlumiCutter offers more protection indeed. Cheers...

@redapple1683 3 года назад

Hi, is the tracing paper and an ordinary baking paper the same thing? Thank you

@30by40 3 года назад

it's not...baking paper doesn't take ink very well (imo)...a roll of trace is pretty inexpensive: thirtybyforty.com/trace

What is the point of model making when you have a 3D virtual one? The way I see it is a lot of work that doesn't pay up.

@MsBridgesSocial 6 лет назад

Here's a question on software. I'm finally ready to buy a new AutoCAD program, and lo and behold it's a subscription! Clearly this is their attempt to circumvent the court ruling allowing 3rd party resale of their product. How comfortable are you with this and would you hesitate buying a program off eBay or amazon?

@MsBridgesSocial 6 лет назад

Well, I gave in and bought AutoCAD directly from Autodesk. I'm not happy about being forced to buy from them because of their conditions. I would much preferred buying an old perpetual license software program off Amazon or Ebay. Technology companies are very good at forming monopolies and after the court case with 3rd party sellers Autodesk lost, I don't trust their policies in the future. But it is the industry standard, so here we are. I'm glad I have my own software for a change. At least it was on sale this time around. :)

What is the point of phisical model making when you have a 3D virtual one? The way I see it is a lot of work that doesn't pay up.

@30by40 7 лет назад

at least for me...model making is equivalent to sketching, it helps in the ideation process. but, I get that it's not for everyone. I make the case for it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SxCYtRfCm8o.html
