Very good. But nothing gives you that instant gratification of a job well done when that electric pencil sharpener does it for you. I just take about 8 to 10 of these puppies when I am working away from home.
I guess we are still on topic with pencils/pens since that is all part of sketching and tracing. But somehow I feel that people are trying to help me sharpen those lousy carpenter pencils!!!

I worked for Toyota in new model development. We drew a lot of sketches in meetings when discussing part designs. These were a go to for me:

Love mechanical pencils. I really like the looks of those that Tin showed with the 2mm lead. That would work well for lumber marking but I would need a lanyard attached to it.
Dang. This went off the rails quickâŚâŚBut, I still read all of it. And I use soapstone. Works fine for the little bit of wood work I do. Definitely interested in the product OP shared. That could be useful

Shaper also used to have this very good SVG export app for Fusion 360, a recent update broke itâs functionality but hopefully thatâll be corrected soon.
That Origin tool looks like an interesting âout of the boxâ design. Totally unaffordable, but very clever.
There going to be a live session tomorrow and they are going to go over the TRACE product and show it in action.

Looks like the two pack ships in Oct and single ships in Nov. i might have to gift one to a friend.
I have all kinds of things i want to try doing with this device. Metal is tricky but i think i can add a bunch of cool things to my designs with it. New toy to play with this fall!
