A long time ago I fell in love with Pentelâ„¢ Pencils. I used them throughout my professional career. About 2002 I purchased a step drill from Craft Supplies and began making wood barrels for the purchased pencils. About the same time I designed a special mandrel for them and sent it to an online machinist to do the machining for me since I did not have a metal lathe at the time. A short time later I purchased a metal lathe and designed the version of the mandrel as it is today. To make a long story short the step drills, bushings and other tools were developed along the way.
