What's the mechanical pencil in the thumbnail?
I love a good pencil.
Looks like a Faber-Castell.
If you like mechanical pencils there are some really nice ones made in a factory in Birmingham, UK called Yard-O-Led, they're bit pricey though as they are made of Stirling silver...
Did you discover them from this video? https://youtu.be/srixb98N6Tk
I had never heard of them until yesterday when I watched his video.
The nicest pencil I own is probably my Rotring 800 (second nicest is probably my two graphgear 1000) but I so want a Yard-O-Led pencil.
Yeah, I've watched that video, it was fascinating. I also used to live and work in the Birmingham jewellery quarter and walked by the factory a few times. We've also got a pen museum too.
I want one too, they're so nice.
(I like how this thread about static websites turned into a conversation about pencils 🤣)
Faber castell tk fine. You were right.
Cheers.
Yeah, I know YoL, but a bit pricey.
My fav is still pentel p205 for some reason.
Look like a good pencil. Decent price too.
