2mm Mechanical pencil in lucite.

[carlmorrell]

Done making presents for everyone else, decided to make myself something. The lucite I've had sitting around for a year now, waiting for a kit to match, and my nerve to turn.

First time turning lucite. It drilled very easy. Was very chippy on the lathe, I took it slow. Sanding was very easy to get a glassy finish, and the material has a lot of color.

Excellent Pencil, Carl.
Spectacular Blank, Ideally Matched to the Kit.
Beautiful, Fit and Finish.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Great job on the pencil, as far as fit and finish. The material is just right for the kit.

Will that become a "Shop" pencil, or is it for use elsewhere? I have a couple of 2mm pencil kits (hiding) somewhere, and expect to have one employed on and around the work bench, whenever it shows up from the hiding place. :redface:
