Learning to draw plans

Anyone know of a book or course or anything that will help me to learn to draw my plans well?

I get so frustrated in my attempts to draw plans that I finally just start working with the wood, mistakes and all.

DB,

The book "Measure Twice, Cut Once", has quite a bit on sketching and drawing furniture plans. Author is Jim Tolpin, published by Better Way Books. GPW

*If you want to get technical and make engineering type drawings go to a university library or bookstore and get one of their drafting text books. I find that they do a good job of explaining the different views and how to use drafting triangles and squares to make perfect dimensioned drawings.
