Sketch Fig. 2

What the designer does is to make a very careful drawing of the cabinet (drawn to scale) showing all dimensions. He isn't content with making just one drawing, he makes several, showing different views of his cabinet, usually a top, a front, and a side view. Then, with this, the cabinet maker can reproduce in wood, the exact cabinet that was pictured in the mind of the designer.      Drawings of this kind are usually called diagrams. They are very carefully made--very fine drawing instruments are used; and this is the primary difference between diagrams and sketches, which are usually freehand drawings.
