O Galoots, A link to a really lovely photographic essay on the -last- remaining pencil factory in the US. Old tools (machines) and tradition. Having just purchased some NOS indelible marking pencils to mark green wood during spoon carving, this article from the New York Time Magazine was great. (Pencils I bought were made in the US.) Hope you find it enjoyable. Regards, Dwight |

Please slide the spittoon down this way. > > https://goo.gl/gxnrC7 Well, if you like this, you might like to see a Brit TV special that's called 'Make Me A German', in which a British couple go to Germany to see what's different in their way of life. The husband goes to work in a small modern factory where they manufacture high-quality artists' pencils. It's an enlightening show in more ways than one, and well worth the time if you come across it. Sorry, I can't provide a link.
