+1 ...and pencils. 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. They are typically in one
spot or no where to be found. :~)

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

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


I still prefer something with a point, relatively sharp one. Might be
from my old drafting days. I do not do a lot of marking so a good
pencil will last me a long time. 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 use those around the house and shop. For drawing on real paper I
use .3mm or .5mm, depending).
