Hi all.
Ok guys, no clever remarks please and if you can't resist make sure we all get a good belly laugh as I am going to ask one stupid question.
Here goes. How would you go about making a workshop pencil. It has no brass tube, just thread at the nib end, no post end etc. I have made a few sleeves, one drilled to 10mm (too large) one drilled to 9mm (too small, sleeve cracked) and one thrown across the yard through the shed door:((. Good throw though as it just missed the chook. I am now loath to waste another blank thus the red faced cry for assistance. So if someone has some real bright ideas I will forever be greatful:B:doh::o
