This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My grandfather was an aircraft inspector for De Havilland in WWII. This is one of the notebooks he used to study for the job. He drew all the pictures. (ibb.co)

Wow! Thanks for posting this. I personally find this VERY interesting.

I think it's really interesting too, but he was my grandfather, so I'm biased. I wasn't really sure how interesting drawings of screw threads and gauges and calipers and such would be to other people.

Those drawings are beautiful. I wish I could draw like that.

Me too. He tried to teach me some when I was a kid, but I just don't have the aptitude for it.
