In the ever continuing quest to reduce the size of items in our PSKs, I have a question reqarding pencils.<br><br>I have a small, thin pencil that cam with a playing card set that I received as a small gift years ago. It's approximately 1/8 in diameter, which is considerably smaller than the little golf pencils some folks use in their PSKs. I searched the web to find a source for these tiny writting implements, but came up empty. :-(<br><br>I did find one web site about making pencils for kids out of paint stirrer sticks and lead. So I thought this idea could be a way to make smaller pencils for kits. My thought was to use a thin sheet of basswood from the hobby store, use an awl and a straight edge to create parallel groves for the lead, 6the glue and sandwich them with another piece of thin basswood. A sharp razor knife would be used to cut out the separate pencils.<br><br>Any comments on this idea?
