While spending time with dad I discovered he had an interest in technical drawing. He got all his books out from when he was a working man in charge of a plant pool (Graders and Big Assed Machinery) which was rather charming as I had not known much about that side of him. Turns out he was so interested that when he was serving his time he asked to work with the drafting department and worked there for 4-6 months. He has meticulous handwriting and always offered advise especially on perspective with some of my miniatures I have done but it never dawned on me that was why. He also told me about the process of making steel and I had no idea it was such a multi-sensory process. He still owns chisels and such he made himself. So just by my doing Interior Design its opening up a whole new area of our relationship and I cant stand the thought of loosing all that due to my not discovering in time what other parts I don't know about.
