Yul Lose Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Bridge City Toolworks sends me their catalogs and this time around these caught my eye. Their tools are a bit out of my price range and I can buy a bunch of pencils for $750.00. Chop sticks are free at sushi and Chinese restaurants. Chop stick maker.

Yul Lose Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Hmmmm, the more I watch the videos and think about it, making pencils might be a lot of fun. I’ve got 30+ years of scrap lumber hoarded away and making a pencil out of Honduran rosewood or cocobolo might be pretty cool. Wonder what Mrs. Lose’s Christmas present budget is this year?

Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 That's pretty cool, but I will continue to buy them or steal them from my son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 If I ever get bored enough to spend $750, it ain't gonna be on pencil/chop stick making kits. There's probably 30 gun stores within 10 miles of my house...wouldn't be bored then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 I’ve been doing a little research trying to locate the graphite lead part and ferrules for the eraser ends so that you won’t have to buy the ones from Bridgecity. Should know tomorrow if there is another affordable source. One outfit wanted 25 cents apiece with a minimum of 144,000 pieces!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 But you'd sure need a huge customer base to get rid of a thousand gross of leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
