Sign of being busy?

[Ironballs]

My trusty old 2B is not much longer for this world, my stalwart of rough marking up is nearing its end. I'm not too upset though, I don't mind replacing something when it's utterly worn out and used up and it must be a sign that I'm being busy in the shop - either that or I like to draw on stuff with a 2B...........

So long old friend

You don't share my problem then - leaving longer pencils in your back pocket and forgetting to take them out before you sit down at the end of the day - SNAP! :wink:

There is no teeth marks on it....???

 

[Ironballs]

My challenge is to see how short I can get it whislt still being useable. Never been one for biting pencils, certainly not since I found myself chewing on one that I realised had teeth marks in it that weren't my own :shock:

Dang! Could it have been a Beaver then??

No, a pencil.

Why would you want to chew on a beaver?

:wink:

You don't get a lot of 'dang' in the UK...

I would have lost it long before it got down to that size

My 4H pencil is only a little longer then that.

You could splice it to a bit of dowel to prolong its life.

Best thread so far, Comedy Gold :lol:

Or am i easily pleased :wink:

 

[Mooeee]

Why don't you use it for a dowel then it would last for ever.

 

[Ironballs]

I could, but it is only a pencil

Time it was pensioned off!

I have one of those drawing office compass adaptor doobries that are like tiny pin chucks for holding a 5mm bit of pencil lead.....

 

[Ironballs]

Got one of them too, bought a Rotring compass when I realised that my cheapo compass was crap. Two things sprung to mind, one what the hell were all these add ons? two, why didn't it have a locking function to keep the radius set :x
