I must be missing something here. I've read the similar posts discussing small pencils, where to get them, etc.<br><br>Why not take a regular pencil and saw it off at the desired length? If you want a smaller diameter pencil, then chuck the pencil in your electric drill, turn it on and take some sand paper to it until you acheive the desired diameter. It's not going to take that long to do and you're only going to make a few at most, right?<br><br>Like I said, I must be missing something here. I'm not going to spend a lot of time searching around for just the right pencil when I can easily make exactly what I want in short order and be done with it. So what am I missing folks?<br><br>--Mike Briggs<br> Maryland
