A drawing board is a desktop or free-standing table which typically features a parallel straightedge or sliding ruler. They are used to aid in both creative and technical drawing tasks and provide an adjustable workspace on which to draw or illustrate. The horizontal ruler will move up and down freely whilst remaining parallel, this allows the aluminium straight edge to be used with other drawing tools such as rulers, protractors or set squares.
