this is dedecated to a dear friend..a 4H pencil….this is the longest i have ever kept a pencil behind my ear…i know it sounds strange but i teach at a college…and like all students….sir have you got a pencil…
this has been with me through many a job and assesment marking sheet and has always produced a fine like to work to..it even helped to mark out the very trestle you can see in the pictures..im sure many a joiner has had and lost a favorite pencil..so i am taking this chance to pay homage to a wonderfull workshop companion…thank you 4H for always being there for me and i promise never to lend you to a pencil chewing student and i solomny swaer to keep you sharp…...

Homage to your tools.
That is very nice of you.
Take care of our tools, and they will take care of us.

I just sharpened 48 new pencils this morning for my shop. Maybe I should have got some #4 or harder that will last longer like your green friend there.

48 pencils? I think that counts as a completed project. You can hit the hammock for the rest of the day :)

Now, that is one great pencil. A great tribute to a fine wooden friend.
I’m afraid I don’t have a favorite one. I’ve been using all three that are at my table saw this morning. Well, I guess the one that is out of lead is my least favorite one right now. That only leaves two that I never can put my hand on right when I need it.
Brrman…..watch out for your lead intake, OK?
