Re: Anybody Know Who Sells A Cranking Carpenter's Pencil Sharpener?
kinda like doing an fine oil painting with a 4" house brush. Why bother....if you are after a sharp pencil, get a box of dixon ticonderogas and a regular sharpener. no more of your cut line being a 1/4" wide.

Re: Anybody Know Who Sells A Cranking Carpenter's Pencil Sharpener?
found one here Mike. I think they're referred to as mechanical pencil sharpener. I still have one in my home. My kids use it all the time.

I have the HD version of this on a mild chain hanging from my Tool Belt. Does the job quite well!  http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...Picture002.jpg Care to explain the need for a Mechanical Sharpener? It may help perpetuate the conclusion. I also use a cartridge tip. NEVER needs sharpening.

It takes only a second or two to rehone the point to "half millimeter" accuracy, it's usually on the bench plugged in anyways, and it's impossible to lose! Cheers, Ron |

Re: Anybody Know Who Sells A Cranking Carpenter's Pencil Sharpener?
What a great idea but Duluth trading no longer carries this carpenter pencil sharpener in stock. Hmmm, pondering idea to duplicate and make millions.

That is the "Boston KS" rebranded. It is the ONLY manual sharpner to have. It is the one we all used in School. The only bad part that I recall is that some of the "Husky" Brand Pencils would NOT fit!

Re: Anybody Know Who Sells A Cranking Carpenter's Pencil Sharpener?
A bit off topic in regard to carpenters pencils specifically but i just have to ask
Why are these typically mounted on basement stair walls? Every time I encounter one i ask myself. Why there? Is a sharp pencil a pre-requisite for descending down into a basement?

Re: Anybody Know Who Sells A Cranking Carpenter's Pencil Sharpener?
I always thought that the real carpenters pencils that were used by real craftsmen were flat. You could sharpen them with a posket knife ot Stanley knife to a chisel point that was strong and accurate.
If you are into cabinet making that is a different situation.

Any rotary sharpener will by definition create a conical point and you lose all of the benefits of the flat lead/chisel point. I still won't roll off your ladder though!
