I too was trained on a drawing board and still prefer pencil and paper, although I am trying to teach myself Fusion 360. My father-in law was a professional draughtsman and when he died, I inherited his huge old drawing board. As I had no real use for it, I gradually dismantled it and salvaged the wood for other uses. Somewhere tucked away, I still have the old geared shaft and the big geared quadrants that controlled the tilt angle.
The main thing that I have and still use occasionally is a very large, and beautifully made, T-square. about 57 inches long. The only problem is that it is so big, about the only place to use it is on the floor!
