Oh man, are these AWESOME. And not like, 13/16 (.8125) awesome....like 100/100 (1.0) awesome.

It's a couple times a day where I have to whip open up my little calculator app to get a decimal equivalent. Be it for a patch 3/8 (.375) of the day, or a decal 7/16" (.4375") away from the edge. Or even a tolerance on a poster trap at 3/32 (.09375") where the colors overlap. And it's like 29/32 (.90625) embarrassing. I was raised by a dad who gave these to his machine shop customers. Handheld versions 11/64 (.171875) of the time, and wall versions 49/64 (.765625) of the time. And those bad-asses lived by them. I have a couple of vintage ones in the DDC Archives, but just know if I started using them, I'd beat the hell out of them like 17/32 (.53125) of the time and they go missing or whatever.

Fed up, I made my own. And friends, THESE ARE THE REAL DEAL. These charts proudly feature our mighty "DDC Hardware" typeface from top to bottom.

The EXACT same material and manufacturing processes as you'd see on a nameplate on a piece of Boeing machinery. Exactly the same. So proud of these. Already used mine twice today! Dang.

Special thanks to Steve from IGN in Vancouver, Wash. for the help on this one! Thank you, sir. They turned out PERFECT.

01. Printed on thick, anodized aluminum 1/32" (.03125") thickness!
02. Screen printed.
03. 3" wide x 5-3/8" (5.375") in dimension.
04. Perfect dimension for holding in your hand.
05. 3/16" (.1875") rounded corners for ease-of-use holding/converting.
06. All the big ones, of course. But we've got the sixteenths and thirty-seconds, and hell, sixty-fourths too! We've got you covered.
07. Pairs well with your standard-sized Field Notes memo books.
08. Quick reference for tricky decimal equivalents.
09. This thing can take a beating!
10. Proudly made in the U.S.A.
11. Great for desk, tool kit, basement lair, cave, nook, lathe, machine shop, printing facility or fix-it shop.
12. Proudly manufactured by the good people of IGN in Vancouver, Wash.

SOLD OUT: The second edition of the "TIMEX x DDC Stanard Issue Scout Watch" is sold out! 400 went in 4 minutes. Holy shit!

If you still have the link in an open window, please do not purchase. We are out of the watches for the time being. We are counting up the orders, to see what the final tally was. Pretty sure we oversold, and if we did, we will refund your money, with instructions about the third edition. Stay tuned!

THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US AT THE DDC! And thank you to Timex for the second edition run!

FRIDAY AT HIGH NOON: That’s when the link goes live for our the second edition run of our “TIMEX x DDC Standard Issue Scout Watch!" We’ve got a good chunk on deck and THEY ARE READY TO GO! (I know some people missed out on the first offering in December, and thanks for your patience.)

The purchasing link goes live at noon Friday, PST, right here the main page at draplin.com. On the East Coast, that is 3 PM EST. Just being crystal clear. This is the 48-hour warning, as these are going to go quick when the link goes up. Weird, I know, but we sold 240 in 15 minutes that last time, and it kind of blew us away.

Couple things to think about:

01. We use PayPal. So please check your PayPal account to make sure your email and shipping address lines up with the email and shipping address you use day to day. We had problems when we’d send notifications to old emails and folks would get riled up when they didn’t see it. And, had some watches sent back that were undeliverable due to old mailing addresses. If you don’t have a PayPal account, you can check out as a guest on their site.

02. International orders require extra shipping charges. Place the order as you would, and we’ll reach with further instructions. Check your “trash” and “spam” folders if you don’t hear from us.

03. We do our best to ship these out QUICK. The orders will come in Friday, and we’ll have the weekend to process and get them out as soon as we can. You will receive tracking notification when they ship.

04. The watches are $84.99 plus $15 shipping/handling.

Thank you and see you Friday!

SALUTING THE GROCERY STORE MANAGERS: Ive partnered with Adobe to honor todays heroes. I thought a lot about honoring someone I knew. A number of frontline friends fluttered through my brain, but then it hit me: It had to be someone I didn't know. The couple times we've left the house to hit our neighborhood grocery stores have been surreal. Over and over, I found myself wanting to thank each stocker, deli counter meat-slicer, security guard and cashier. 

So I created "Grocery Gratitude."

It just kept washing over me: how amazingly brave are these people? Putting themselves at risk like this? Powerful stuff. For the rest of us. Think about the folks we often take for granted. During this scary time, and once we get through this.

We appreciate you, Eric S. THANK YOU for keeping the crew members' morals up and making sure facts are known and squashing rumors that are started from fear. Thank you for working side by side with the rest of the crew even though you are manager, you are outside spraying carts down with the rest of them.

I also wanted to dedicate this piece to my friend Rod Snell, who's a nurse working in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Now, I'd like to personally invite you to use your creativity to honor a hero in your life, those who keep our world turning. Share your creation with #HonorHeroes and tag @adobe. Let's honor them and show the world how important they are to us.

OUT TODAY: Our 6th Skillshare class titled, “Design Great Stuff: How to Make Merch with Draplin”

Here’s the official Skillshare verbiage about the class:

"Step back into the studio with iconic designer Aaron Draplin! Now, go further than ever before as Aaron pulls back the curtain on how he makes the merch he’s famous for.

From pins and patches to posters and hats, well-designed merch can be a designer’s dream—if it’s done right. Enter, Aaron Draplin. For the past 15 years, Aaron has been designing the best merch in the biz. Now, he’s sharing the tips, tricks, and trade secrets he’s gathered over a career centered on making great stuff. With his usual straight talk and zero funny business (ok, maybe a little funny business), Aaron will walk you through every step he takes each time he wants to create something new—and might just share some never-before-heard stories of mishaps and mayhem along the way.

From first idea to final delivery, you'll discover how to:

- Choose a design that works
- Find the best vendors to make your stuff
- Create un-mess-with-able files for handoff
- Make multiple merch pieces from one design

Plus, Aaron shares the successes and failures behind his favorite designs, from the spectacular journey of his Space Shuttle design to the woeful tale of an ill-fated yardstick.

Makers of all things are invited to join this class, whether you’re looking to expand the services you can offer your next client, open your own online shop, or make t-shirts for your family reunion. When you’re done, you’ll leave with the insider information you need to choose the right items, work with clients and vendors, and design great merchandise that’s a cut above the rest."

AND HEY: Don't forget our first five classes, either:

01. "Logo Design with Draplin: Secrets of Shape, Type and Color"
02. "Circular Logo Design: Combine Type & Icons in a Classic Shape"
03. "Customizing Type: Creating Wordmarks That Work"
04. "Situation Iteration: Iterating with Shape, Style, and Color"
05. "21 Tips for Speeding Up Yer Design Workflow"

- - - -

AND OF COURSE: To pull off these classes takes quite an effort by a very talented group of folks. Thank you to Scott Sullivan for patience and strategic, soothing handling of my nightmarish ways, to Bill Antonucci for patience, Craig Finn-ism and directorial vision, to Becca Cloyd for patience, organization clarity and top-notch producing. To the filmers, editors, social media folks, publicists...all of it...THANK YOU from all of us at the DDC.

We finally made a bandana. Or handkerchief. Or bandit mask. Or headband. Call it whatever the hell you want. There are many, many ways to use this thing. We provide a list to get you going on the item. Add to that list and let us know. We're calling the thing an "Ass Pocket Handkerchief".

My dad always had a handkerchief in his back pocket. And let me just tell ya, you didn't want to see that thing "later in the day" as there was a good chance the thing was crusty with who-knows-what, all wadded up in his ass pocket*. I remember him whipping that thing out and wiping our noses and faces, and the things being crusty with...well...I still don't really know? What I'd give to have my dad wipe my face again in 1979. Or 2017. Good memories. Come back, Dad.

(*"Ass Pocket" is an R.L. Burnside reference to a bottle of whiskey that'll fit in your back pocket. This handkerchief will fit back there too, hence the name.)

01. Four colorways: "Tacitly Turquoise", "As Orange As Possible", "Blatantly Black" and "Road Rash Red".
02. 20" x 20" in dimension.
03. 100% cotton.
04. Hand-dyed in Philadelphia by Fred at Man Vs. Ink. Thanks!
05. Soft to the touch. Easy on the nose/eyes/whatever else.
06. Machine-washable. A dirty gas station sink will suffice, too.
07. Multiple uses. Get weird with the thing.
08. For both left-handed and right-handed noseblowers, dipstick wipers and/or bandits.
09. This one is for Dad.
SOLD OUT - THANK YOU! Another order is in the works!

A couple days back my nephew Oliver was in the shop, telling me about baseball practice earlier in the afternoon. He saddled up to the monitors with me and we got to work on a Pizza Kings logo for the team, if anything, just for the hell of it. I had some ideas, of course, but even cooler than that, Oliver knew EXACTLY what he wanted in the logo. He's almost eight and knows his stuff. We traded sketches and got to work. In no time, we had the design you are seeing up above. And just for fun, we posted it on Instagram, and had an OVERWHELMING response from everyone pledging to get a shirt to help out the team! So that's what you are seeing here. We're going for it.

Our first goal is to get a t-shirt for each kid on Oliver’s team! All proceeds past that go to snacks and drinks for the kids. All proceeds past that get donated to the league.

We're gonna leave the post up for a good, solid week, and then place the order for the shirts. Hoping to deliver the things around mid May-ish!

PLACE THAT ORDER and let's get the Pizza Kings of Sellwood outfitted! Batter up!

We'll ship them AS SOON as they are done at the printer. Stay tuned, Pizza Kings fans!

For customers using PayPal, click the link above they'll take it from there. For customers who aren't using PayPal, send us an email to "orders(at)draplin.com" and we'll get back to you with an address to ship the funds to. We accept money orders and cold hard cash, so, get with it, man! All orders are shipped out as fast as we can. Usually a couple days after the order comes in. We ship everything USPS "First Class" rates. If you want quicker shipping, contact us and we can ramp it up to USPS Priority, or whatever you need. We aim to please! We cover the shipping in the states, but charge the basics for international orders.
