I am having trouble with 2 pencils which will not advance the lead without a lot of shaking and persuasion. The lead is advanced by means of pressing the button on the top of the pencil. Normally the lead freely falls out of the tip of the collet. Any suggestions on a fix before I ruin these...
This is an unknown blank received in a bag of blanks at a MAPG in Richmond several years ago. The kit is a 2mm Elite.
Since there are not brass tube or extra ornaments the pencil weighs in at 0.5 of an ounce.

Lurking for several months, but this is my first post.

Hello everyone,
Glad to be part of the community, with all the great resources here. I'm new to turning, did my first project today a PSI workshop/sketch pencil. I've been enjoying woodworking for a long time and caught the turning bug. Looking forward to learning.

I made a Big Ben pen for a coworker who liked it so much that he wants a pencil to go with it. I checked PSI where I purchased the pen but don't see any mention of a pencil.

Hi Everyone,
In my quest to become a better pen & pencil photographer I stumbled upon this site. Can't believe I didn't find it sooner. My Korean friend Cento is a fabulous craftsman with a new-found passion for pen turning. I'm an English teacher with a photography addiction. Together we...
For the record, it can be done the same way as the Sierra kit.
Use a Schmidt 0.7mm or 0.5mm mechanism.
1. widen the back of the transmission with a 3/32" bit
2. drill out the nib section from the inside with a 1/8" bit until the pencil tip protrudes between .160" and .165" and the lead...
Hello Folk,
I was asked to make a long click pen and the matching pencil. I was wondering if anyone has used the long click pencil and how it has held up.
Doing a little reaserch I found that the schmidt pencil inserts fit into the cigar and comfort fit. according to the responses the...

This is a Woodcraft gold artists sketch pencil dressed in an early formulation of my Go Gators! blank. No one in my wood turning club would take the blank as a freebie and it went into a box of rejects, till I needed a birthday present for my nephew.
It has an slight hour-glass figure from...

Anyway, I ended up with really sloppy fits on both of the blanks. I used...
