Make a pencil from scratch

Make a workshop pencil.
I made this from bits and pieces I had in the shop.
The lead came from Axminster machinery:- www.axminstertools.com/hultaf...

Love the idea of the threading insert on it's side. Superglue and Brasso - who'd have thought! Lovely job!

[@CazualHaze]

Thanks so much! 😊 it came out a lot better than I thought it would!

[@Trainwreck1123]

What a beautiful result! Well done!

Thank you! Cheers!

Enjoyed that thanks. A few weeks ago I needed to make a pencil lead holder and couldn't find anything useful.

Glad it was helpful!
Cheers

You have inspired me, is on my project list! As a side note I would love to be able to pick your brains about your lathe! I have just a few months ago picked up what looks like the exact same model from gum tree, your the only other one I have seen.

Thanks Andrew ask away! I have had mine from new around twenty years I think.
Cheers
