You think I'd settle for a RYOBI drill to sharpen my pencils?!?

I'm pretty sure that Dixon Ticonderoga still uses real wood.

What sort of skew?
Hey, wait a second! The pic clearly shows that he is sharpening a
standard hexagon pencil (looks as if it could be a #2 lead Ticonderoga)
and not a shop pencil at all!

Oh, come on. Everyone knows that the only correct way to sharpen a
shop pencil to to put it in a collet on the lathe and use a skew to
peel it to a nice point, then burnish the cone and give it quick coat
of paste wax.

grinder for that 'variable angle cone' everyone was talking about last year.
I still think that $300 is a bit much for a pencil sharpener, so I've
adapted mine to sharpen pens, too.

I could have used that "office missile launcher" shown at the top of the
page. Wonder how much that is... Great first strike capability...

That's the beauty of crayons, they're self sharpening! No nasty
dangerous cutting tools to injure yourself upon, if you need a finer
line, you just rotate the crayon a little! Safe enough a kid could use
it!

You make a good point, but don't stop there.
Motorized pencil sharpeners injure tens of thousands of people every year.
With my new PENCIL STOP, it will in milliseconds, stop the sharpener and
dull the point. Only $199.00 for the #2 pencil, but adapters are available
for #1 and #3 pencils.

I use a 1.5 HP ($599) pencil sharpener myself. The disk on my 12/48 JET
sander. Allows me a flat lead on a round pencil. SWMBO mentioned it seemed
overkill the other day when she saw me use it.
Anybody else notice that cedar and even bass have gone to some sort of
composite crap around the ersatz lead, or is it just me?
