    You should write greeting cards. That's some great advice to live by lol.

    Also, I struggle to give people pencils. Since I'm in school, people always ask me for pencils. I always carry super cheap pencils for that reason, due to the great horrors people do to pencils. I also have a few Blackwings for my self, and let the occasional person use or have one.

      Another great, inspirational video... The only thing is, "nice" stationery sits on the shelf and doesn't get used... functional stationary-- I would even say "high touch" pads where you can see the pencil leave a nice broad mark across the coarse texture of the paper, THAT'S Functional Stationary getting used, and the notebooks get beat up and curled and bent and used... just what I like. Let them keep their "nice" stationery for that long letter that they're never going to finish writing with that fountain pen that's sitting on the shelf all clogged.

    Nice video, pencils and notebooks really are the gift that keeps on giving you don't realize how useful they are until you start carrying them everyday. I've been carrying a notebook for years and i dont leave the house without it.

    • @WoodGraphite
      @WoodGraphite  Před 7 lety +1

      +andrew osburn Ditto! Once you start carrying daily and forget it, you realise how much you use it!

    I love the idea of giving friends pencils and notebooks so much! I've started giving pencils to a few friends and they always love it when I do. Definitely something I'm gonna keep doing. I kinda wish I had a friend like you to give me pencils/notebooks. Great video :)

    I really appreciate your channel. I was trying to get into Fountain pens, which are very expensive. But years ago I got a blackwing 602 and loved it, and I have had some Tombow Mono's in my drawers that I sharpened up and love. My year old Rotring 600 still holds a big piece of my heart, but wood pencils are just so great. Next I will have to try a graphite holder. Thanks again!

    What an amazing channel! When searching I was thinking, I wonder if there's a channel that just reviews and displays pencils and boom! Watched a few videos already and I'm hooked.

    As an American pencil enthusiast, it's not so much that Dixon Ticonderogas are boring (although my favorite Dixon pencil is the Oriole) as much as it's really hard to find non-super-fancy alternatives in most brick-and-mortars. I can get Generals over the internet. One can find store-brand pencils in most office supply places, but besides that it's mostly Dixon Ticonderogas--unless you're in an art supply shop buying drawing pencils. Even the pencils of my youth are hard to come by, if not extinct, lol.

    • @dillonsmith3633
      @dillonsmith3633 Před rokem +1

      this is so true! I'm just now discovering that there are other American pencil manufacturers! I'm so glad I found out because now I'm gonna treat myself to trying as many as I can :)

    If I had to give someone a pencil as a token of gratitude, I woul'd give them KOHI-NOOR Versatile 5228. It's probably the greatist pencil for everyday carry, especially for creative people. Great for both writing and sketching, small, durable, with clip and integrated sharpener. What else do you need, right?

    In regards to the copier/aniline dye pencils, as long as the y don't lick them, they should be okay. Sharpen them into wet paper towel and throw it away. The dyes in the No-Blots was changed if it says "Sanford" on it and is no longer harmful.

    As pencils for writing goes I am boring I like my paper mate classic #2 HB and black wings.
    For work and marking my cuts on aluminum it was the paper mate mirado classic #4 2H ( now discontinued) and I have yet to find a suitable replacement and am using some of my staedler art pencils.
    As far as the dixon ticonderoga goes I have found that the graphitte core is off centre giving me a nice sharp wood tip " best pencil in the world " my ass.
    Keep up the good work I love nerding out on the seemingly simple things in life.

    Hi! I am thinking about purchasing a pack of blacking pencils but my I can only get 1 pack. I'm not sure which to get. Im leaning towards the 602 but im not sure. I'm not an artist but i love writing with pencils. Any suggestions?

      @angelab9162 Před 7 lety +1

      If still stuck send me an email, I know a lot of folks and can try find someone local to trade you one. Postage alone from Ireland would triple the cost.

      There are plenty of folks who review and talk about fountain pens (Goulet Pens, Pen Addict) they tend to be very paper centric, as pens are a bit more temperamental. Pencils will write on almost anything (: Thanks for the great question!
