After 5 months of work, after more than year of saying that I would make a LEGO Doctor Who Series, here it is: the first episode of my series
VIA DAVID REES, the very first review of his book, HOW TO SHARPEN PENCILS.
Also, I realized I am completely in love with his featured double-burr hand-crank sharpener, the El Casco M 430-CN. Holy crap, you guys, this thing is beautiful. I may never own one — as Rees says:
It depends on the budget you have allotted for your practice. As to your cost, I will say the El Casco… is the fourth-most expensive thing I own — and I own a house and car.
What is especially fascinating is that it produced an almost concave point, curved inward from the collar to the point of the pencil that as Rees points out, displays up to 30% more graphite.
—ANDY, an actual pencil blogger.
That is all.
Holy crap, I just got reblogged (on WOODCLINCHED, my COMPENDIUM OF ALL PENCILNALIA) by JOHN HODGMAN: Minor television celebrity, humourist, gentlemen, and internet sensation.
Thank you, sir — I raise a glass of Crystal Head vodka in your honor.

Fun Fact: The author loved the original jacket idea so much, we did a very small run for him. To manufacture this jacket, we printed all the type in black ink on heavy white paper, created die cast of the text and then stamped white foil down on the type. You can see the the text type from a certain angle. The slash is die cut with the black case peeking through.
