This time it's mechanical pencils. What triggered this latest 'bout of collecting frenzy is the various mechanical pencils I inherited from my father and father-in-law. Of course, once bitten I had to add to the collection where I had leads but no pencil to use them
Here are some newly discovered pencils from clearing out mom's house as well as one or two that came through Amazon or eBay -
And of course, with all these mechanical pencils milling about I had to make a 'holding pen' for them. So, being a cigar box addict I decided to fashion a storage box for the pencils from an old box -
I pulled the wooden side slats out of another cigar box and used a Dremel tool with a cutter bit to make the indents to rest the pencils in.
And, I figured what's good for storing my mechanical pencils is good for my small but growing fountain pen collection -
