shop looks too clean
i do not trust it

i think he is wasting time on hb or #2 and should be using hh

hh requires more forcee and usually means that you get a lighter mark
that is easier to sand offf

For me, its more difficult to sand off the impression of a visible 2H mark
than to erase a visible #1 or 2B mark.
In drafting (preCAD), we were taught to use the darker #1 or B for reliable
blueprinting.

HB or #2 were acceptable, but HH or #3 risked tearing the cheap paper to get
a decent line.

I also just want to point out this woodworking "Beginners Syndrome" thread
has evolved into the finer points of drafting pencils.
