Steve is Jonesing for some pencils:

I got these last year at one of the Tool Group meetings.
Cheaper than new, and I really like those fat old sketching pencils.
Plus the advertising is cool.

And a few years back I got this odd kit at a yard sale in Verona ON.
It shows some of the steps in manufacturing a pencil.
I suspect some bits are missing, but it was cool enough to
entice me into buying it.
