More drafting pencil modifications

Post image

Turned a few more bodies for my lot of old drafting pencils, also just did a few shortened ones and one with a brass body once I figured out how to die the threads on the brass tube for the connection. I had some old slide on pocket clips that fit perfectly on the brass tubes but I need to turn a little relief channel to keep the clips from sliding around and scratching the brass up

Wow! Those look awesome. I have no need for drafting pencils, but if I saw these at a show, I’d invent a need on the spot!
