I look forward to seeing how many kids have these at the end of the year or the end of high school given the loss rate is 60-80 per semester. I’ve put something unique on the 100+ pencils in the cupboard now. I will continue to do this as we buy more.
And the other project was an ornament for a neighbor that invited us over for dinner the other night… it made for a nice surprise/gift that was personal for her. I knew she had a blog with a simplified hand-sketched logo and thought it would be nice to crank out something individualized for her. Again - glowforge for the win.
The math whizzes in high school all had Pentel mechanical pens. I tried to copy them, but never had enough extra lead. It was Dixon Ticonderogas after that. Used to be made in Eldon, MO, not far from where I live now.
Pencils will remain a staple. Great work and precise positioning!
