Some shop pencils

[mike_l]

Here are a couple of shop pencils from CSUSA. They have been a big hit with everone who has seen them. I think it will be a big seller. Everyone knows a wood worker who is hard to shop for.

Thanks for looking.

Good looking pencils Mike! I am going to be trying some of them soon. I like both of them but I like the pick guard a lot. Great job!

Very nice pencils MIke. I still think I like the one piece better. But I bought some of these to try out to. Nice job.

I gotta try one of those, looks really good and fun as well.

Great gift!
my brother wanted a pocket pen so I gave him a half dozen psi bullet pens. There's a custom pool cue maker near here and I get his cutoffs, exotics, 4"x2" round. there just right for making bullet pens but the pen kits are not good quality and the pens leak in the pocket.

I'm thinking of giving my bro. a psi "purse pen" without the clip. that has a cap and won't leak in his pocket.

I'll try these shop pencils, do they make any pens that size?
Can't write a check with a pencil.

I'd like to give him a shop pencil and pocket pen in a gift box for Christmas. He's the one who gave me a PSI catalog and told me to get a hobby. It's all his fault!

when you guys talk about pick guards, do you mean like guitar pick guards?

Mike:
Great looking pencils. I really like that the new kits have the "no-roll" centerband and cap. [] Makes these even more desireable and a great selling feature! Good luck.

Thanks for the compliments! []
I tried the one piece shop pencil. I'm giving one to my brother for his birthday. It is very nice, but the "no-roll" ability of this pencil is what sold me. Internally they are about the same.
The pencil with the pick guard above just went to my woodturning mentor. He is the one who got me started in turning.
And, no, I don't think there is a pen option for this kit. Although, the size and weight of it would make a comfortable pen. CSUSA, are you listening? []

Nice job on both of them...may have to try that style....I like the idea of the "no roll" design.
