    Default The Sharpening.

    Hi All,
    Yes, well I'm one of the Lazy Ones too.
    A few years, I was at the Camberwell Market, Melbourne, & this seller had a Red Box thing with a Cord hanging from it. " What is it, Dunno, how much $6, " & I knew what it was.
    Paid up, got it home, worked really well at Sharpening My Pencils, did my Electric Pencil Sharpener.
    Regards,
    issatree.
    Have Lathe, Wood Travel.

    When I was in primary school my teacher used to have an electric sharpener on his desk, being slight mischievous I used to enjoy walking in, grabbing his pencil and holding it in there until there wasn't enough to hold onto!

    I only got caught once

    I don't use a sharpener because if my pencil has a nice sharp point that means I have a nice neat line to work to and i don't like being accurate makes stuff ups more noticeable

    Default Easy peasy

    You people have no idea.
    What are you standing on in your lovely shed.
    A big pencil sharpener.
    Just rub it on the cement floor and presto, sharpish pencil.
    Not only that, it is all over your shed. Never have to go looking for it.

    ive glued 100 grit sandpaper to the side of my work station so I dont have to bend down to the floor! and give it a hit with my chisel! I do like snapping the freshly sharpened pencils of my co-workers! the trick is not getting caught!

    Geez, I have just discovered the floor IS concrete. What a revelation after 30 years... . Now the bench tops... well THAT is a whole new issue.
