+1Â* ...and pencils.Â* There has to be one within reach from wherever I
am in my house or at work.


I typically have 5~6 pencils in the shop.Â* They are typically in one
spot or no where to be found.Â* :~)

My lumber supplier gives me a new pencil or two when I buy wood.Â* These
are good pencils and are closely guarded in my desk drawer.Â* I think I
have about 50 stashed away.Â* I give the pink ones to my wife.Â* ;~)

I've bought packs of 50 .7mm mechanical pencils at WallyWorld for
about $5.


I still prefer something with a point, relatively sharp one.Â* Might be
from my old drafting days.Â* I do not do a lot of marking so a good
pencil will last me a long time.Â* It has probably been a couple of years
since I have taken one of those pencils out of my desk. It's not unusual
for me to not make a single mark during a full day of cutting wood.

I have my "old drafting days," too!

I rue the day when I left my drafting tools somewhere, including all the
pencils and leads.
To this day, I prefer a really hard lead like a 2H or higher... if I can
find it.
